Platelet Activation and Glucose Transporters in Preeclampsia

Pre-eclampsia | Gestational Hypertension

We are looking at activation of platelets (clotting factors in the blood) in women with pre-eclampsia or at risk of pre-eclampsia and comparing them to healthy pregnant controls.

We are recruiting pregnant women who either have a low or high risk pre-eclampsia screen in the first trimester (between 11-14 weeks gestation), have a prior history of pre-eclampsia, have gestational hypertension or have been diagnosed with pre-eclampsia in this pregnancy
