Elevated plasma homocysteine in early pregnancy: a risk factor for the development of severe preeclampsia

Article Abstract:

Pregnant women who have elevated blood levels of homocysteine in the early stages of pregnancy have an increased risk of developing preeclampsia, according to a study of 168 women. Preeclampsia is a serious complication of pregnancy.

Elevated plasma homocysteine in early pregnancy: a risk factor for the development of nonsevere preeclampsia

Article Abstract:

Research has been conducted on elevated plasma homocysteine in early pregnancy. The authors have investigated the hypothesis that this homocysteine is associated with nonsevere preeclampsia development, and the results have demonstrated that women developed nonsevere preeclampsia have higher plasma homocysteine levels in early pregnancy.

Increased fetal DNA in the maternal circulation in early pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of preeclampsia

Article Abstract:

A study is conducted to determine if the presence of fetal DNA in the maternal circulation in early pregnancy before the clinical manifestation of preeclampsia could be predictive of the development of preeclampsia. Increased fetal DNA was found present in the maternal circulation in early pregnancy in women who subsequently develop preeclampsia and there also appeared to be a graded response between the quantity of fetal DNA and the risk of developing preeclampsia.
