This trial follows women who have had preeclampsia to learn more about their health after pregnancy. It collects blood and tissue samples to find markers that could improve future care.
This study tests a new approach to prevent long-term heart and kidney problems in people who had preeclampsia, HELLP syndrome, or kidney disease during pregnancy. It aims to see if early follow-up care can improve future health.
This trial tests whether metformin, a common diabetes medication, can help women with preeclampsia stay pregnant longer before delivery. If you have been diagnosed with preeclampsia and your doctors are monitoring you without immediate delivery, this study might be an option.
This trial studies whether using specific blood-pressure medicines can help people with non-severe preeclampsia stay pregnant longer. It aims to improve outcomes by treating blood pressure early while monitoring you and the baby closely.
This study tests if metformin, a drug that helps control blood sugar, can improve the chance of a healthy live birth in women with prediabetes who are doing in vitro fertilization (IVF). It aims to see if treating prediabetes before and during early pregnancy leads to better outcomes.
