- Abstract
Poor placentation in early pregnancy is thought to lead to an excessive maternal systemic inflammatory response, which causes the maternal syndrome of preeclampsia. The aims of this retrospective study were to confirm old reports of increased blood levels of pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) in preeclampsia and how its levels correlate with the levels of other placental and endothelial proteins that are reported to be elevated in preeclampsia.
