Kynurenine pathway activation in ectopic pregnancy: diagnostic value of 3-hydroxykynurenine and 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid; a prospective study
These findings suggest that elevated 3-HK and 3-HAA levels are associated with EP and may reflect immunometabolic dysregulation underlying abnormal implantation, rather than implying a causal relationship. Therefore, these metabolites may offer complementary biomarker potential in selected research settings.
