Pre-eclampsia, a pregnancy complication, has poorly understood causes and effects. This review examines current hypotheses and evidence regarding its impact on cardiovascular, coagulation, liver, renal, and cerebral systems.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Maternal-Fetal Medicine
  • Pathophysiology

Background:

  • Pre-eclampsia is a common pregnancy-specific disorder.
  • The etiology and pathophysiology of pre-eclampsia remain incompletely understood.
  • Existing knowledge of pre-eclampsia's underlying mechanisms is limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review established and novel hypotheses regarding pre-eclampsia's causes.
  • To present recent evidence supporting various pre-eclampsia hypotheses.
  • To discuss the effects of pre-eclampsia on key organ systems.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of established and emerging hypotheses.
  • Analysis of recent scientific evidence supporting these hypotheses.
  • Systematic discussion of affected physiological systems.

Main Results:

  • Established hypotheses on pre-eclampsia etiology are presented.
  • Newer theories on pre-eclampsia pathophysiology are explored.
  • Evidence linking pre-eclampsia to cardiovascular, coagulation, hepatic, and renal systems is reviewed.

Conclusions:

  • Further research is needed to fully elucidate pre-eclampsia's etiology.
  • Understanding pathophysiology is crucial for managing pre-eclampsia.
  • Pre-eclampsia significantly impacts multiple maternal organ systems.
