PREECLAMPSIA

This study tested a medical device that filters a harmful protein called sFlt-1 from the blood of pregnant women with preeclampsia, a serious condition causing high blood pressure. The goal was to see if the treatment is safe and can help control the disease. The trial included 2…

This study looked at whether giving magnesium sulfate for 12 hours instead of the usual 24 hours after delivery could safely prevent seizures in women with mild preeclampsia. 200 women at term were randomly assigned to either the shorter or longer treatment. The goal was to see i…

This study looked at whether measuring a protein called Cadherin-6 in the blood during early pregnancy (15-20 weeks) can help predict preeclampsia, a dangerous condition involving high blood pressure. Researchers tested blood samples from 150 pregnant women and compared those who…

This study looked at whether a blood test called the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio can help doctors decide if pregnant women with suspected preeclampsia need to stay in the hospital. The goal was to improve care and reduce costs. The study involved 84 pregnant women between 24 and 35 weeks o…

This study looked at how aspirin works in pregnant women at high risk for preeclampsia, a serious condition involving high blood pressure. Researchers measured platelet function and genetic factors in 130 women to understand why some still develop the disorder. The goal is to per…

This early-stage study tested the safety of a drug called telpegfilgrastim in 18 non-pregnant women, some of whom had a history of preeclampsia. The goal was to see how the body processes the drug and if it causes side effects. This is a first step toward possibly preventing pree…

This study looked at whether low vitamin D levels in the first three months of pregnancy are linked to a higher chance of developing preeclampsia later on. Over 3,000 pregnant women in France had their vitamin D measured early in pregnancy. The goal was to understand how common v…

This study examined heart function in 80 pregnant women—40 with preeclampsia and 40 healthy—to see if preeclampsia affects the heart's ability to relax and fill with blood. Researchers used ultrasound to measure heart performance. The goal was to better understand how preeclampsi…

This study collected blood samples from 236 pregnant women with and without preeclampsia to test a new treatment idea. The treatment would filter a harmful protein called sFlt-1 from the blood to help restore normal blood vessel function. The goal was to prepare for future treatm…

This study followed 72 pregnant women with HELLP syndrome, a serious pregnancy complication, to see how their blood tests changed before and after giving birth. Researchers measured platelets, liver enzymes, and other markers daily. The goal was simply to observe and understand t…

This study followed 35 pregnant women at high risk for preeclampsia who were taking low-dose aspirin. Researchers took blood samples at several points during pregnancy to study how aspirin affects immune cells called neutrophils. The goal was to understand why aspirin helps some …

This study looked at a protein called CD71 in the placentas of 39 women with preeclampsia (high blood pressure during pregnancy) and 39 healthy women. Researchers wanted to see if CD71 levels are linked to how the placenta works and how the baby does after birth. The goal is to b…
