Scientists hunt for clues to pre-eclampsia in placenta and blood samples
NCT ID NCT03626233
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to better understand pre-eclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), serious pregnancy complications affecting about 9% of pregnancies. Researchers will collect placenta, blood, and urine samples from 500 pregnant women—both with and without these conditions—at delivery. By analyzing the genetics and proteins in these samples, they hope to uncover the underlying causes of these disorders, which currently have no cure and can worsen rapidly.
