This study looks at how to predict and diagnose chronic kidney disease (long-term kidney damage) in people who had pre-eclampsia during pregnancy, including related serious conditions. It may help identify kidney problems earlier so care can start sooner.
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 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 educational, social support, and nutrition help affect pregnancy outcomes and quality of life in women with PKU. It may help you better manage PKU-related needs before and during pregnancy.
This study looks at how well your blood vessels work during pregnancy to help predict high blood pressure disorders. If you join, you will have extra monitoring and blood tests.
This study tests a new blood test to track how the body responds to treatment during pregnancy, especially for those at risk of high blood pressure conditions. It may help doctors monitor and improve care.
