Regarding the laboratory finding, the patient must have elevated levels of one of the following autoantibodies in serum or plasma on two or more occasions measured at least 12 weeks apart: lupus anticoagulant (LAC), anti-cardiolipin of IgG and/or IgM isotype (aCL), and/or anti-β2 glycoprotein I (aβ2GPI) antibody assays.
Pre-eclampsia was defined as a BP ≥140/90 mmHg on two or more occasions measured 6 h apart and ≥300 mg of proteinuria/24 h, in the absence of a urinary tract infection, occurring after 20 weeks of gestation.

When the clamp technique is used, which is accepted as the gold standard for the assessment of insulin sensitivity and secretion, the measurement of DI requires a hyperglycemic clamp to measure first-phase insulin and a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp, on a separate occasion, to measure insulin sensitivity (2).
The reliability of the device was tested in another occasion by measuring the same blood sample for 30 times and the coefficient of variation (CV) obtained was below 2.9.
