7. 25. Hypercoagulation in preeclampsia : implications for maternal health and fetal growth

   Author : Shu He; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background: Preeclampsia (PE) is a serious complication of pregnancy characterized by hypertension, proteinuria, oedema and hypercoagulation. Damage in organs, such as the liver and kidney, is harmful to the maternal health. Impairments in placental function cause intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR). READ MORE
