Preeclampsia (PE) is a multisystem disorder that typically affects 2%−5% of pregnant women and is one of the leading causes of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality, especially when the condition is of early onset. Globally, 76,000 women and 500,000 babies die each year from this disorder. Furthermore, women in low-resource countries are at a higher risk of developing PE compared to those in high-resource countries. Although a complete understanding of the pathogenesis of PE remains unclear, the current theory suggests a 2-stage process. The first stage is caused by shallow invasion of the trophoblast resulting in inadequate remodelling of the spiral arteries. This is presumed to lead to the second stage, which involves the maternal response to endothelial dysfunction and imbalance between angiogenic and anti-angiogenic factors, resulting in the clinical features of the disorder. Accurate prediction and uniform prevention continue to elude us. The quest to effectively predict PE in the first trimester of pregnancy is fuelled by the desire to identify women who are at high risk of developing PE, so that necessary measures can be initiated early enough to improve placentation and thus prevent or at least reduce the frequency of its occurrence. Also, identification of an ‘at risk’ group will allow tailored antenatal surveillance to anticipate and recognize the onset of the clinical syndrome and manage it promptly. PE has been previously defined as the onset of hypertension accompanied by significant proteinuria after 20 weeks’ gestation. Recently, the definition of PE has been broadened. Now the internationally agreed definition of PE is the one proposed by the International Society for the Study of Hypertension in Pregnancy (ISSHP). According to the ISSHP, PE is defined as systolic blood pressure at ≥140 mmHg and/or the diastolic blood pressure at ≥90 mmHg on at least two occasions measured four hours apart in previously normotensive women and is accompanied by ≥1 of the following new-onset conditions at or after 20 weeks’ gestation: proteinuria (i.e., ≥30 mg/mol protein:creatinine ratio; ≥300 mg/24hr; or ≥2+ dipstick); evidence of other maternal organ dysfunction, including: acute kidney injury (creatinine ≥90umol/L; 1 mg/dL), liver involvement (elevated transaminases, e.g., alanine aminotransferase or aspartate aminotransferase >40 IU/L) with or without right upper quadrant or epigastric abdominal pain, neurological complications (e.g., eclampsia, altered mental status, blindness, stroke, clonus, severe headaches, and persistent visual scotomata), or hematological complications (thrombocytopenia–platelet count <150 000/μL, disseminated intravascular coagulation, hemolysis); or uteroplacental dysfunction (such as fetal growth restriction, abnormal umbilical artery Doppler wave form analysis, or stillbirth). It is well established that a series of maternal risk factors are associated with the development of PE: advanced maternal age, nulliparity, previous history of PE, short and long inter-pregnancy intervals, use assisted reproductive technologies, family history of PE, obesity, Afro-Caribbean and South Asian racial origin, co-morbid medical conditions including hyperglycemia in pregnancy, pre-existing chronic hypertension, renal disease, autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus and anti-phospholipid syndrome. These risk factors have been described by various professional organisations for the identification of women at risk of PE, however, this approach to screening is inadequate for effective prediction of PE. PE can be sub-classified into: Early-onset PE (with delivery at <34+0 week’s gestation); Preterm PE (with …
