Summary

Endometriosis is a common gynecological benign disease which significantly compromise quality of life in patients and is a major cofactor of infertility. With the proteomic approach the investigators will search for proteins with significantly different levels in peritoneal fluid, serum and uterine fluid samples of women with endometriosis versus control group. Results will be validate using ELISA aproach.

Detailed description

Informed consent will be obtained from all individual participants included in the study. Blood sample will be obtained the day before laparoscopic surgery during regular clinical preoperative procedures. Peritoneal fluid and uterine fluid will be obtained during regular laparoscopic procedure indicated for infertility, the exact protocol of sample obtaining will be revealed after publication of results. The aim of the study was to identify potential diagnostic and predictive biomarkers or drug targets.
