Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Preeclampsia (PE) is a hypertensive pregnancy-related disorder that endangers maternal and fetal outcomes and accounts for 9-10% of maternal mortalities with its early-onset phenotype is the most dangerous, but its etiology is still not fully elucidated.

Midkine (MDK) is a multifunctional protein that plays a unique role in the development of hypertension (HTN), via its proatherogenic effect and induction of overexpression of angiotensin converting enzyme. Oxidative stress (OS) upregulates the expression of MDK and MDK induces propagation of neoangiogenesis and acts as chemotactic for neutrophils.
