Overview
Preeclampsia may be the result of entering placental factors into the maternal circulation leading to endothelial dysfunction and hypertension and proteinuria. Increasing an angiogenic factor named fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 in placenta correlated with endothelial dysfunction. The apoptosis susceptibility if villous trophoblast is considered as a cause of preeclampsia.
Pathophysiology
- The pathogenesis of preeclampsia is characterized by the following :[1][2]
- Chronic uteroplacental ischemia[3]
- Genetic susceptibility
- very-low-density lipoprotein toxicity
- Increased trophoblast apoptosis or necrosis[4]
- Increased Maternal inflammatory response to fetal trophoblast
- Imbalance of angiogenic factors [5]
- Imbalance of prostacycline and thromboxan-A2
