Preeclampsia: Prediction And Prevention
Summary:
INTRODUCTION: Preeclampsia is a multifactorial and multi-systemic complication of pregnancy and is one of the three main causes of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality worldwide. As a disease with a very different phenotypic spectrum, there are many presentations and inevitably there are patients who do not fit the classical definition.
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to conduct a systematic review of the international literature on preeclampsia, its effects on pregnant, fetus and newborns, focusing on early detection, early prevention and treatment of preeclampsia.
MATERIAL-METHOD: The material used for the completion of the master's thesis was collected from international, Greek bibliography as well as article writing but also using online resources.
RESULTS: The review shows that preeclampsia is a serious risk to the health of the pregnant woman and the fetus. Rapid developments in understanding preeclampsia, however, have opened new avenues for further investigation in order to improve future research results and allow early detection of the disease. Protein is the entire complement of proteins that is or can be expressed by a cell, tissue or organism. The study of proteomes and their functions is referred to as proteomics. However, metformin was associated with a lower weight gain during maternal pregnancy and a lower incidence of preeclampsia than observed with placebo.
CONCLUSIONS: This pathological condition needs immediate treatment so that complications in the new mother but also in the fetus can be prevented as a result of the proper completion of pregnancy thus reducing maternal and fetal deaths. Finally, methods of disease prevention, early diagnosis and therapeutic actions aim to reduce the incidence of the disease by minimizing pathological pregnancies.
