The purpose of the paper is to establish weighted maximal $L_p$-inequalities in the context of operator-valued martingales on semifinite von Neumann algebras. The main emphasis is put on the optimal dependence of the $L_p$ constants on the characteristic of the weight involved. As applications, we establish weighted estimates for the noncommutative version of Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator and weighted bounds for noncommutative maximal truncations of a wide class of singular integrals.
