The Promise of Angiogenic Markers for the Early Diagnosis and Prediction of Preeclampsia

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: An imbalance in circulating factors that regulate blood vessel formation and health, referred to as angiogenic factors, plays a central role in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. CONTENT: Several studies have demonstrated a strong association between altered circulating angiogenic factors and preeclampsia. These factors include circulating antiangiogenic proteins such as soluble fms-like tyrosine...
