Overview

Preeclampsia may be the result of placental factors in maternal circulation leading to endothelial dysfunction and hypertension and proteinuria. Increased levels of an angiogenic factor named fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 in the placenta is correlated with endothelial dysfunction. In villous trophoblast of preeclamptic women, apoptosis was considered. Following uteroplacental ischemia, and invasion spiral arteries by trophoblasts, releasing some angiogenic factors causes other organ involvement. Incomplete penetration in recessive or dominant genes was noticed in pathogenesis of preeclampsia.
