Long-term renal and cardiovascular risk after preeclampsia: towards screening and prevention

Abstract: Preeclampsia (PE) is a hypertensive pregnancy disorder complicating up to 1-5% of pregnancies, and a major cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. In recent years, observational studies have consistently shown that PE carries an increased risk for the mother to develop cardiovascular and renal disease later in life. Women with a history of PE experience a 2-fold increased risk of long-term cardiovascular disease (CVD) and an approximate 5-12-fold increased risk of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). R… Show more

“…Complement consumption in PE through the classical pathway is supported by an increasing body of evidence finding enhanced complement breakdown products in a variety of tissue samples in PE 32,[39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47]. Women with PE have a higher risk of developing renal and cardiovascular disease in the future 50. The elevated polyclonal sFLC levels in this study were independent of markers of inflammation and renal function, supporting a humoral response in PE.…”

“…Preeclampsia (PE) is a major pregnancy complication characterized by hypertension and proteinuria (1) and is the second most common cause of maternal morbidity (2)(3)(4). Epidemiologic studies indicate that a history of PE correlates with the later development of cardiovascular disease (5). Although both maternal and placental factors contribute to its pathogenesis, the etiology of PE is incompletely understood.…”

“…The risk of a woman in the developing world dying from a maternal-related cause is 33 times higher than a woman in the developed world 16. Maternal mortality results from cerebral hemorrhage,17 pulmonary edema,18 acute renal failure, hepatic rupture, or DIC. Long-term effects may include chronic renal failure, cardiovascular disease,19 or cortical blindness.…”
