View clinical trials related to Severe Preeclampsia.
Filter by:Pre-eclampsia (PE) is one of the most frequent pregnancy complications and is one of the main causes of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality in its severe form.control of blood pressure is of crucial importance to avoid maternal and fetal complications.Therapeutic modalities that can target the underlying pathophysiological changes and reverse the endothelial dysfunction could help to ameliorate the systemic manifestations in patients with severe PE. Either Intravenous labetalol and nitroglycerine as well as sublingual nifedipine have been frequantly used for the management of acute severe hypertension in PE
This is a Phase II, single arm, open-label study to determine if treatment with eculizumab prolongs pregnancy compared to historical controls in women with preeclampsia between 23-30 weeks gestation.
This proposal describes a single centre retrospective cross-sectional study which will address the need to further develop and test statistical risk prediction models for adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes in low-resource settings; this will be the first such research to be carried out in Zimbabwe.
this study will be conducted to confirm the hypothesis of the previous studies and to list the high androgen levels as a precipitating factor for preeclampsia
Preeclampsia is commonly viewed as one of the hypertensive pregnancy disorders, which cover a spectrum of clinical presentations from chronic hypertension ( hypertension occurring prior to 20 weeks of gestation) and gestational hypertension (hypertension occurring after 20 weeks of gestation) To more severe forms, including preeclampsia, eclampsia (its convulsive form), and HELLP syndrome (hemolysis, elevated liver enzyme S, and low platelets)
This study evaluates the use of AMAG-423 (Digoxin Immune Fab) in addition to expectant management in the treatment of severe preeclampsia as compared to placebo.
Preeclampsia may have several causes leading to different characteristics of the pathology. Differentiation between the "type of preeclampsia" would help to treat patients more accurately. This project aims to identify early markers that are specific to each type of preeclampsia (early or late, with or without growth restriction). Through a case-control study, many data will be collected prospectively (serum markers, ultrasonographic markers, maternal factors) among nulliparous women with no sign of preeclampsia (as soon as the first trimester) and nulliparous women with preeclampsia (at diagnosis).
Preeclampsia is a complication of pregnancy related to adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes, including fetal growth restriction and perinatal death. Several measures are used or under investigation (low-dose aspirin, low-molecular weight heparin, calcium, folic acid, among others) for the prevention of preeclampsia. Unfortunately, most high-risk women who could benefit from those preventive measures are not identified until late in pregnancy. Recent evidences suggest that the investigators could identify women at risk of developing preeclampsia using a combination of serum and ultrasound biomarkers in the first-trimester of pregnancy. This screening test needs external validation. A first-trimester screening strategy will strengthen clinical research on preeclampsia and will contribute to the development of strategy combining the prediction and prevention of the disease and its related complications.
The purpose of this study, to investigate whether severity of preeclampsia is associated with altered levels of heavy metals (Cd, Hg, arsenic and Pb) in maternal blood, fetal blood, and maternal hair.
Restless Leg Syndrome is a common but not well recognized central nervous system disorder. It is more prevalent during pregnancy and, if present before pregnancy, can develop an exacerbation of symptoms. In some of the hypothesis trying to explain this syndrome, the physiopathology can also explain hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. So far, no study has been done trying to link both disorders.
