Blood sample was taken from all patients in the theater room when laparoscopy finding went with endometriosis, and classifying according to surgical staging of endometriosis, the level of serum leptin was measured by ELISA using Human LEP (Leptin) ELISA Kit.

The recording of finding of laparoscopy after conforming of diagnosis by histopathology was compared with the result of serum leptin.

Result.

The result shows no significant difference between the two groups regarding parity and age; however, the level of serum leptin was significantly high in the endometriosis group than in the control group.

The P value was less than 0.05.

Also, the result shows no significant differences between serum leptin in both groups according to the symptom but there was a significant difference with surgical staging.

The mean of the level of serum leptin in stage 1 was 214.8, while it was 340.3 in stage 4.

Conclusion.

Serum leptin can be used as a marker of severity of endometriosis.
