Research Notes on Preeclampsia Causes
The exact cause of preeclampsia is still unknown. Preeclampsia causes the blood vessels to narrow, which affects how blood circulates throughout the body.1 Even though the cause has yet to be identified, researchers have been able to identify some risk factors that increase the chance of developing preeclampsia.1
Fast Facts:
- Risk factors of developing preeclampsia include being obese, being pregnant with more than one child, and having high blood pressure prior to your pregnancy.2
- Having diseases such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and lupus can also increase your chances of developing preeclampsia.2
- Treatment options for preeclampsia range from bed rest to medication.1
