TL;DR: The authors found that the availability of PlGF test results reduced the time to clinical confirmation of pre-eclampsia, and there was no evidence of a difference in perinatal adverse outcomes.

TL;DR: Lower maternal PlGF concentrations had high diagnostic accuracy for superimposed pre-eclampsia requiring delivery within 14 days (receiver operator characteristic 0.85) and confirmed in the validation cohort.

TL;DR: The lack of evidence to support the hypothesis that functional SNPs influence antioxidant enzyme activity in pregnant women argues against a role for these genes in the etiology of preeclampsia.

TL;DR: In this article, urine samples from healthy pregnant control subjects (n = 31) and pregnant women with preeclampsia (n= 23), gestational hypertension, chronic kidney disease, chronic hypertension, renal disease, and systemic lupus erythematosus with (n,= 25) and without (n,= 14) l Lupus nephritis were analyzed.

TL;DR: Obesity in pregnancy is negatively associated with markers of maternal iron status, with ethnic minority women having poorer iron statuses than white women and women from ethnic minority groups having higher sTfR concentration compared with white women.
