Can the Timing of Inflammatory Marker Testing Predict Preeclampsia Risk in Women with Obesity?

While the foundations of preeclampsia are believed to develop in the early stages of pregnancy, the current screening process occurs at 20 weeks, nearly half way through the second trimester. When clinical symptoms begin to appear, often after the se...

Study looks at our understanding of risk reduction and prevention of preeclampsia

Research suggests that preeclampsia may develop in a two-stage process. The first stage involves challenges to the way that the placenta implants and grows. In a normal pregnancy, a type of placental cell changes blood vessels in the uterus to ensure...

How Informed Are Preeclampsia Patients About The Future Risk Of High Blood Pressure And Heart Disease After Pregnancy?

How Informed Are Preeclampsia Patients About The Future Risk Of High Blood Pressure And Heart Disease After Pregnancy?

The risk of developing hypertension and cardiovascular disease (CVD) significantly increases for patients who experience gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, or other hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP). Current strategies to reduce the futu...

New Scientific Research Funding Available to Eliminate Pre-Term Deliveries from Preeclampsia

The Preeclampsia Foundation is seeking Letters of Intent for the Peter Joseph Pappas Research Grants funding program, designed to accelerate preeclampsia research. The ultimate goal of this grant program is to drive research that will eliminate the d...

Early Pregnancy Blood Pressure Patterns Can Help Predict Future Hypertension

Early Pregnancy Blood Pressure Patterns Can Help Predict Future Hypertension

A new research study suggests that blood pressure changes during the first 20 weeks of pregnancy—called blood pressure trajectories—may give providers a peek at a woman’s risk of developing high blood pressure years after pregnancy....

Is there a connection between hyperemesis gravidarum and preeclampsia?
May 15, 2025
Is there a connection between hyperemesis gravidarum and preeclampsia?

Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), is severe and persistent nausea and vomiting in pregnancy that, unlike morning sickness, can last until delivery. It is not well understood, but does seem to be related somehow to preeclampsia.

Can AI improve emergency department triage for preeclampsia patients?

Can AI improve emergency department triage for preeclampsia patients?

Preeclampsia is a major cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality.  Prompt and accurate diagnosis is necessary to prevent adverse outcomes. A study was completed to determine the accuracy of triage nurses’ decision-making for pat...

Can cell-free fetal DNA predict preeclampsia before clinical onset?
April 30, 2025
Can cell-free fetal DNA predict preeclampsia before clinical onset?

Predicting preeclampsia has proven to be a challenge. Researchers have documented many differences in early pregnancy between those who eventually develop preeclampsia and those who do not. These include body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, and pul...

Did low-dose aspirin use improve after new preeclampsia risk factor guidelines were published?
April 30, 2025
Did low-dose aspirin use improve after new preeclampsia risk factor guidelines were published?

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) and American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) guidelines changed in 2021 to help prevent preeclampsia. Low-dose aspirin has been shown to reduce the rate of preeclampsia. Modifications...

Can molecular subtyping help predict preeclampsia before symptoms develop?
April 30, 2025
Can molecular subtyping help predict preeclampsia before symptoms develop?

Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), including preeclampsia, affect 1 in 6 pregnancies. HDP is a general term for a range of mild to severe outcomes.  Until now there has not been a reliable way to predict whether HDP will develop into sev...

Can glycosylated fibronectin (GlyFn) help diagnose preeclampsia in early pregnancy?
April 30, 2025
Can glycosylated fibronectin (GlyFn) help diagnose preeclampsia in early pregnancy?

Although there is no definitive treatment for preeclampsia, early screening and detection can allow patients to ensure proper management throughout the remainder of the pregnancy. Currently, preeclampsia is diagnosed through clinical assessment, whi...
