Abstract

Preeclampsia is one of the most frequent and serious disorders of pregnancy. It is a significant
contributor of maternal and perinatal mortality worldwide. An important amount of research
has been devoted in the research of preeclampsia in the recent years; nonetheless, its
pathophysiology is yet to be completely understood. In this review, we will discuss new
proposed theories on the pathophysiology of preeclampsia. Genetic and angiogenic aspects
of preeclampsia will be reviewed elsewhere in this issue.
