Abstract
Ischemia modified albumin is a novel marker of ischemia generated due to hypooxygenation
and increased hydroxyl free radicals in low pH. The molecule has been licenced for
clinical use as an early marker for acute coronary syndrome in cardiology. Since presence
of ischemia might have serious and sometimes devastating effects in perinatology,
various researches have evaluated its value in different clinical conditions. This
narrative review aims to summarize the literature concerning the value of IMA in perinatology
and guide for further research.
