Preeclampsia: Linking Placental Ischemia with Cardiovascular-Renal Dysfunction

Placental ischemia during preeclampsia is thought to lead to widespread activation/dysfunction of the maternal vascular endothelium. This results in enhanced formation of endothelin and thromboxane and decreased formation of nitric oxide and prostacyclin. These endothelial abnormalities, in turn, cause hypertension by impairing renal pressure natriuresis and increasing total peripheral resistance.
