Summary

Early preeclampsia poses significant risks. Identifying predictive markers for this condition is crucial for timely intervention and improved maternal and neonatal outcomes, especially in low-risk pregnancies.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Maternal-Fetal Medicine
  • Biomarker Discovery

Background:

  • Early-onset preeclampsia is linked to severe maternal and perinatal complications.
  • Predictive markers are needed due to the lack of effective preeclampsia prophylaxis.
  • Identifying at-risk nulliparous women without prior complications is challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore potential biomarkers for predicting preeclampsia.
  • To identify subclinical disease for enhanced maternal monitoring.
  • To differentiate potential underlying etiologies of preeclampsia.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing data on potential markers in patients with established preeclampsia.
  • Consideration of markers related to renal function, coagulation, vascular function, oxidant stress, placental hormones, and genetics.
  • Emphasis on the need for prospective longitudinal studies for validation.

Main Results:

  • Numerous candidate markers identified across various physiological systems.
  • Potential markers include renal, coagulation, vascular, oxidant stress, placental, and genetic factors.
  • Current data is primarily from cross-sectional studies, requiring further prospective validation.

Conclusions:

  • Distinct biomarkers may identify subgroups of patients with different preeclampsia etiologies.
  • Validated markers could enable pre-symptomatic diagnosis of preeclampsia.
  • Prospective studies are essential to confirm the predictive value and clinical utility of these markers.
