Preeclampsia affects 3-8% of pregnancies, causing maternal and neonatal complications. This review examines therapeutic agents, including low-dose aspirin, for preventing preeclampsia in high-risk women.
Area of Science:
- Obstetrics
- Maternal-Fetal Medicine
- Pharmacology
Background:
- Preeclampsia is a significant obstetric disorder impacting maternal and neonatal health.
- It is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally.
- Current prevention strategies include low-dose aspirin for high-risk pregnancies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review and summarize therapeutic agents for preeclampsia prevention.
- To explore emerging research beyond aspirin for preeclampsia prophylaxis.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of therapeutic agents for preeclampsia prevention.
- Analysis of current clinical guidelines and ongoing research.
Main Results:
- Low-dose aspirin is a recommended preventive measure for high-risk individuals.
- Various other agents are under investigation for preeclampsia prevention.
- Understanding pathophysiology drives research into novel preventive therapies.
Conclusions:
- Preeclampsia prevention is an active area of research.
- Multiple therapeutic avenues are being explored to reduce the incidence and impact of preeclampsia.
- Further research is needed to establish efficacy and safety of novel agents.
