Preeclampsia is characterized by high blood pressure (hypertension), fluid
retention (oedama), and excessive protein levels in the urine (proteinura). These symptoms are not evident during the early stages of pregnancy and such preeclampsia can be difficult to diagnose. It is detectable by regular antental checks on the maternal blood pressure and urine, and such as women without access to adequate healthcare services are particularly at risk. There is currently no way of curing preeclampsia. In severe cases the only way to relieve the mother’s symptoms is to artificially unduce deliveror to prematurely deliver the child by emergency ceaserian section. Being born prematurely can have serious consequences and every yearfour million babies are born with fetal growth restriction as a consequence of preeclampsia. Although Preeclampsia has been the subject of scientific research for many years, the exact etiology of the condition is as yet unknown. Recent research has indicated that the poor development of the placenta maybe responsible, preventing the transfer of nutrients from mother to baby that are essential to its healthy development. Objectives: To find out specifically what it is that causes preeclampsia To identify the diagnosis of the condition Develop a safe and effective therapy for preeclampsia
