New finding may help explain development of preeclampsia
In a study of pregnant women, those with pregnancy-induced high blood pressure were found to have higher levels of a peptide that raises blood pressure in the pieces of tissue linking mother and fetus, according to researchers at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. view more (2008-02-11)
Stretching exercises may reduce risk of pre-eclampsia during pregnancy
Stretching exercises may be more effective at reducing the risk of preeclampsia than walking is for pregnant women who have already experienced the condition and who do not follow a workout routine, according to researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Nursing. view more (2008-05-29)
In preeclampsia, researchers identify proteins that cause blood vessel damage
Proteins released by the placenta may damage blood vessels in women with preeclampsia (PE), according to an abstract presented by Yale School of Medicine researchers at the Society for Gynecologic Investigation Conference March 17 in Reno, Nevada. view more (2007-03-19)
Novel diagnosis of preeclampsia with proteomic analysis
Researchers at Yale School of Medicine have found that analyzing proteins in urine is a simple and objective method to diagnose and classify preeclampsia (PE), a complication of pregnancy causing high blood pressure after 20 weeks of gestation. view more (2006-02-06)
Regular multivitamin use near time of conception significantly reduces preeclampsia risk
Women who are considering becoming pregnant may significantly reduce their risk of developing a common life-threatening complication called preeclampsia by taking a multivitamin supplement regularly three months before conception and during the first trimester of pregnancy. view more (2006-07-27)
A new gene trigger for pregnancy disorder identified
The COMT gene - known already for its role in schizophrenia - has been found to play a role in preeclampsia, according to a report in today's advance on-line issue of Nature. view more (2008-05-12)
Elevated autoantibodies linked to preeclampsia

New research from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill ties low levels of a hormone secreted by the uterus and embryos to problems with pregnancy and fetal development. view more (2006-09-19)
Researchers identify protein associated with severe preeclampsia
Building on their earlier discovery which found that elevated levels of the sFlt1 placental protein leads to the onset of preeclampsia, researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC), in collaboration with a research team from The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, have identified a... view more (2006-06-05)
