Active clinical trials for "Pre-Eclampsia"

The aim of this study was to evaluate diagnostic accuracy of the spot urinary proteinuria, random urine protein- creatinin ratio for prediction of significant proteinuria (≥ 300 mg/24h) and magnitude of proteinuria in patients with in mild preeclampsia and severe preeclampsia. The cross-sectional longitudinal study design used, 209 patients with pre-diagnosed preeclampsia in which in our inpatients clinic included this study. Random urine samples were taken before the 24 hour urine collection for spot urine analysis for evaluated proteinuria and protein/creatinin ratio. 24 hour urine analysis was performed in all patients as the gold standard of the urine total proteinuria.

Study of blood loss in preeclamptic patients using mathematical formulae

A single site observational study aiming to: (i) Identify cases of previously undiagnosed thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and atypical haemolytic syndrome (aHUS) in a cohort of women with complicated pregnancies (ii) Characterise the clinical features of these cases and (ii) Identify clinical features or biomarkers which may help distinguish TTP/aHUS from other complications of pregnancy such as preeclampsia

Whole blood sample procurement study from pregnant women with signs and symptoms of Preeclampsia.

A population-based prospective cohort design will evaluate the progression of urine congophilia in pregnancy using the Congo Red Dot test by following patients longitudinally across gestation in Bangladesh and Mexico City.

This prospective, single centred cohort study evaluates the physiological course of the potentially novel biomarker PSP in pregnant women as well as its predictive role in the development of inflammatory complications during pregnancy.

A prospective observational study to test the feasibility of smartphone enabled uChek urinalysis device to detect biomarkers (protein, microalbumin and protein:creatine ratio) in urine, indicative of preeclampsia/eclampsia at over 22 weeks of gestation and assess attitudes of clinicians towards uChek as a new technology for urinalysis.

In order to assess surrogate markers of cardiovascular risk in subtypes of preeclampsia, we will conduct a 10-year follow-up study comparing 40 women with a history of early onset preeclampsia; 40 women with a history of late onset preeclampsia and 40 women with a history of normotensive pregnancies. Eligible participants delivered at the Department of Obstetrics at Randers Regional Hospital 1998-2008. Early-onset preeclampsia is defined as preeclampsia that develops before 34 weeks of gestation, whereas late-onset preeclampsia develops at or after 34 weeks of gestation.

• Preeclampsia is a multisystem disorder that can cause considerable maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Late preeclampsia (with delivery >34 weeks) is more frequent and less serious than early preeclampsia (with delivery <34 weeks). Poor early placentation has been especially associated with early disease. Early identification of women at risk of preeclampsia is currently a crucial aim of antenatal care since they may benefit from prophylactic treatment and increased surveillance.

Pre-eclampsia seems to be associated with a four to five times increase risk of later microalbuminuria and CKD which might suggest a possible direct renal damage from pre-eclampsia
