Pre-eclampsia: A Multifaceted Disorder of Pregnancy



Fig. 24.1
Schematic of pathogenesis of pre-eclampsia, based on current evidence. The decreased low-resistance shunting of maternal blood, due to a disruption of the maternal-fetal interface, at the placenta has profound effects on maternal vascular adaptations to pregnancy. In a patient with susceptible endothelium, this leads to the development of the clinical syndrome of pre-eclampsia
