First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 04, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at whether substances produced by gut bacteria, called TMAO, can help predict high blood pressure during pregnancy. Researchers will track 200 pregnant women by collecting blood and urine samples throughout their pregnancies. The goal is to find early warning signs that could lead to better treatments for both mothers and babies.
