Understanding the causes of preeclampsia
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at what causes preeclampsia, a condition with high blood pressure and protein in the urine during pregnancy. It may help researchers understand why some women get it, so they can find better ways to prevent or treat it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are female and 18 years or older.
- This is your first pregnancy (you have never been pregnant before).
- You are either pregnant with preeclampsia, or you are a healthy woman who has had a normal pregnancy in the past.
- You do not smoke, drink alcohol, or use recreational drugs.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study collects samples from pregnant people with preeclampsia (a serious pregnancy blood-pressure condition) and from healthy pregnancy controls. Researchers will study tiny particles (“exosomes”) to see how they differ and whether these signals could help explain or improve care for preeclampsia.
This study looks at how certain hormone receptors might be linked to preeclampsia, a pregnancy complication involving high blood pressure. It aims to understand why some women get preeclampsia and could help improve care in the future.
This study looks for genes that may be linked to severe preeclampsia, a serious blood pressure condition in pregnancy. It compares women with severe preeclampsia to those with healthy pregnancies to understand why it happens.
This study tests a tool (called fullPIERS) that uses common lab tests and vital signs to predict if a pregnant person with preeclampsia might have serious complications. It helps doctors identify who needs closer monitoring.
This study tests if certain blood markers can help diagnose and monitor preeclampsia. It aims to improve how this serious pregnancy condition is detected and treated.
This study looks at whether a urinary tract infection (UTI) during pregnancy is linked to preeclampsia (a serious condition involving high blood pressure). It may help pregnant women who have a UTI and want to understand their risk.
