| Description | Journal: Current opinion in nephrology and hypertension The review summarizes new observations of key roles for circulating angiogenic factors in diagnosing, managing, and treating preeclampsia. Alterations in circulating angiogenic factors (soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 and placental growth factor) in preeclampsia correlate with the diagnosis and adverse outcomes, particularly when the disease presents prematurely (<34 weeks). Measurement of these angiogenic biomarkers further helps differentiate preeclampsia and its complications from other disorders that present with similar clinical profiles. A ratio of soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1/placental growth factor greater than 85 appears ideal as the cut-off for both diagnosis and prognosis. There is also evidence that modulating these factors has therapeutic effects, suggesting a future role for angiogenic factors in treatment and prevention of preeclampsia. Circulating angiogenic biomarkers help in diagnostic and prognostic profiling of preeclampsia and may facilitate better management of these patients. |
