Preeclampsia is a condition in which blood pressure and proteinuria increase in pregnant women. If left untreated, it can cause many dangerous complications. The disease can be screened through a number of preeclampsia tests.

Preeclampsia can occur any time after 20 weeks of pregnancy and up to 6 weeks after birth. Preeclampsia increases the risk of stillbirth, premature birth, and malnutrition in the baby later in life.

To monitor the health of pregnant women and their fetuses, regular blood tests are required. Blood tests during pregnancy are one of the extremely important paraclinical techniques to promptly detect dangerous problems during pregnancy and during childbirth.
