Overview
Risk factors
- History of pre-eclampsia/eclampsia: Personal history of a similar event in the past or family history is a significant risk factor for recurrence in the next pregnancy. Having pre-eclampsia in one pregnancy is a strong predictor for recurrence of pre-eclampsia in future gestations. The risk for women to develop pre-eclampsia during the second pregnancy is approximately 15% if the first pregnancy was affected by pre-eclampsia and 1.1% for those without a history of pre-eclampsia. The risk during the third pregnancy is approximately 30% for women who have had two previous affected pregnancies and remains 1.1% for those without any history. For women with the first occurrence of pre-eclampsia in their second pregnancy, the risk was 15.9% during the third pregnancy and 29.0% during the fourth when they had developed pre-eclampsia in the previous two pregnancies.[1]
- Nulliparity: The risk for multiparous women without a history of pre-eclampsia was around 1%.[1]
- Primigravida: The risk of pre-eclampsia is 4.1% in the first pregnancy and 1.7% in later pregnancies overall if none of the previous pregnancies have been affected by pre-eclampsia.[1] This association is the core of theory that says that pre-eclampsia is the consequence of a maternal immune reaction against paternal antigens expressed in the placenta which might result in defective trophoblast invasion and subsequent placental dysfunction. The lower risk of pre-eclampsia among multiparous women has been attributed to desensitisation after exposure to paternal antigens in the placenta during previous pregnancies.[2][3] and to smoother trophoblastic invasion after modification of maternal spiral arteries during the first pregnancy.[4] For this reason pre-eclampsia is also known as a disease of primiparity.
- Interpregnancy interval: A long interpregnancy interval is associated with increased risk of preeclampsia, supporting the hypothesis that some factors delaying clinically recognized conception may also be in a causal pathway for preeclampsia.[5]
- Conditions with a large placenta:
- Multiple gestations: The relative risk of preterm preeclampsia in di-chorionic and mono-chorionic twin pregnancies is similar and substantially higher than in singleton pregnancies. In a study, it was found that the incidence of pre-eclampsia in singleton pregnancies was 2.3% compared to 8% in dichorionic(DC) twin pregnancies and 6% in monochorionic(MC) twin pregnancies. Compared to singletons, the relative risk of total pre-eclampsia was 3.5 for DC twins and 2.6 for MC twins.[6]
- Hydatiform mole
- Women with preexisting vascular diseases:
- Chronic hypertension: Chronic hypertension is defined as high blood pressure present before pregnancy or before 20 weeks of pregnancy. If left untreated, it can progress to gestational hypertension, pre-eclampsia, or eclampsia.
- Gestational hypertension: Untreated gestational hypertension can eventually progress to preeclampsia/eclampsia.
- Renal diseases
- Diabetes
- Gestational diabetes
- History of Gestational diabetes
- Obesity
- Preexisting thrombophilias such as:
- Connective tissue disorders
- Systemic lupus erythematous
- Genetics: Patients whose mother or sister had the condition are at a higher risk.[7]
