However, there are no clinically useful screening tests currently available to identify women in whom it will develop [4]. The hypotheses currently accepted are the placenta ischaemia hypothesis, genetic hypothesis, the immune maladaptation and hypothesis of the imbalance between free oxygen radicals and scavengers in favour of the oxidants [5].
