New Delhi, March 29, 2018: A scientific study led by father of genetics Dr. Carlos Simon has said that there is a connection between the changes in cells of the endometrium in preparation for, and during (decidualization) pregnancy is related to high blood pressure in pregnancy (preeclampsia).
Preeclampsia is a severe complication that occurs in the third trimester or 20 weeks of pregnancy, affecting around 8% of the total pregnant women.
If not diagnosed on time, it may lead to significant complications with both the mother and foetus during the pregnancy. Until now, most research on the topic had focused on investigating defects in placenta formation that resulted in the onset of the disease, ignoring the role of the maternal uterine tissue where the embryo is implanted.
Our study shows the link between the onset of preeclampsia and a defect in the decidualization process in the endometrium. Decidualization is an endometrial process that entails preparing the uterus for the implantation of the embryo and a successful pregnancy. This defect not only occurs in the endometrium of women who have suffered from preeclampsia during a previous pregnancy, but also in patients who have preeclampsia at the time of birth.
This discovery offers an explanation as to why women with preeclampsia are more prone to a recurrence of this condition
in future pregnancies. This study paves the way towards developing a clinical diagnosis that facilitates the prospective risk assessment
of suffering from preeclampsia and the possible treatment of this condition before pregnancy.
