Preeclampsia: A review of the pathogenesis and possible management strategies based on its pathophysiological derangements
This review is divided into three parts. The first part briefly describes the pathogenesis of preeclampsia.
This is followed by reviewing previously reported management strategies of the disease based on its
pathophysiological derangements. Finally, the author defines the safe and acceptable methods/medications
that may be used to ‘prevent’ preeclampsia (in high risk patients) and those that may be used to
‘treat’ preeclampsia (meant to prolong the pregnancy in patients with established preeclampsia). The
review concludes that multi-center trials are required to include multiple drugs in the same management
protocol
