Researchers have found several maternal nutritional and dietary factors that may increase or decrease the risk of developing preeclampsia, though the association between the two is complex.
What you’ll learn in this article: Many risk factors contribute to an individual’s chance of getting preeclampsia. These risk factors may be genetic, physical, environmental, and even social. Don’t blame yourself for developing...
Preeclampsia Foundation Canada announced today at the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine’s (SMFM) 43rd Annual Meeting – The Pregnancy Meeting™ – that applications are now being accepted for its 2023 Vision Grant program.
The study is designed to potentially accelerate discovery of therapies for preeclampsia by designing placental cell lines that express variants of the APOL1 gene for drug screening.
This study suggests that women of different BMI classes might have distinct risk profiles for preeclampsia.
Research is being done to make a medicine that can cure preeclampsia a reality. In this article, researchers asked: what are the candidate medicines being studied currently to prevent or treatment preeclampsia?
This is another study on that journey that shows sFlt1 and PlGF are important proteins in pregnant women’s blood that can tell us about preeclampsia risk.
For this study, researchers asked: what are the barriers to eating a heart healthy diet for women with high blood pressure or a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy?
Peter Joseph Pappas preeclampsia research grant recipients' study titles and reports.
Two articles were published this quarter that both provide updated statistics about trends in preeclampsia and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in the United States.
In this study, HMOX1 gene variants were different depending on ancestry, and these genetic changes could be contributing to the racial disparity in hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.
These results highlight two new biomarkers with a possibility of being able to predict timing of onset and subtypes of preeclampsia well before preeclampsia is diagnosed.
