  1. 1. Pre-eclampsia – Possible to Predict? : A Biochemical and Epidemiological Study of Pre-eclampsia

    Författare :Marie Bolin; Helena Åkerud; Anna-Karin Wikström; Inger Sundström-Poromaa; Karel Marsal; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :pre-eclampsia; angiopoietin; histidine-rich glycoprotein; hyperemesis gravidarum; Obstetrik och gynekologi; Obstetrics and Gynaecology;

    Sammanfattning : Pre-eclampsia is a major cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. A predictor of pre-eclampsia would enable intervention, close surveillance and timely delivery, and thereby reduce the negative consequences of the disorder. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Genetic studies of pre-eclampsia

    Författare :Hanna Peterson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Pre-eclampsia is a multifactorial, pregnancy-specific vascular disorder characterized by hypertension and proteinuria. It affects around 3-5% of pregnancies worldwide. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Carotid Artery Wall Layer Dimensions during and after Pre-eclampsia : An investigation using non-invasive high-frequency ultrasound

    Författare :Tansim Akhter; Tord Naessen; Anna-Karin Wikström; Henry Nisell; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Systemic lupus erythematosus; normal pregnancy; pre-eclampsia; high-frequency ultrasound; common carotid artery; intima media ratio; cardiovascular disease.; Obstetrik och gynekologi; Obstetrics and Gynaecology;

    Sammanfattning : Pre-eclampsia is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) later in life. The ‘gold standard’ for estimating cardiovascular risk - ultrasound assessment of the common carotid artery intima-media thickness (CCA-IMT) - does not convincingly demonstrate this increased risk.

  5. 4. Experimental and Clinical Studies of Oxidative Stress in Pre-Eclampsia

    Författare :Peppi Nash; Ulf Eriksson; Matts Olovsson; Leif Jansson; Lucilla Poston; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Obstetrics and gynaecology; Pre-eclampsia; Oxidative stress; Diabetes; Placenta; Rat; Antioxidants; Suramin; Vitamin E; Vitamin C; PAI-1; PAI-2; Obstetrik och kvinnosjukdomar;

    Sammanfattning : Impaired placentation and oxidative stress are proposed to play major roles in the pathogenesis of pre-eclampsia (PE). It has recently been pointed out that PE might be more than one disease and may have several different pathogeneses. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Biochemical and Epidemiological Studies of Early-Onset and Late-Onset Pre-Eclampsia

    Författare :Anna-Karin Wikström; Matts Olovsson; Ulf Eriksson; Solveig Norden-Lindeberg; Göran Berg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Obstetrics and gynaecology; pre-eclampsia; proteinuria; albumin-creatinine ratio; ischaemic heart disease; angiogenesis; sFlt1; oxidative stress; isoprostane; PAI-1; PAI-2; Obstetrik och kvinnosjukdomar;

    Sammanfattning : Biochemical and epidemiological aspects of pre-eclampsia were investigated, with the main focus on possible pathophysiological differences between early-onset and late-onset disease.In pre-eclamptic women poor correlation was found between albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR) in a random urine sample and total amount of albumin in a 24-hour urine collection.
