Potential Protein Biomarkers for Preeclampsia

Cureus. 2020 Jun 30;12(6):e8925. doi: 10.7759/cureus.8925.

Abstract

To date, the etiology of preeclampsia (PE) has not been clarified and the specific treatment is lacking; hence, early prediction and prevention are very important. Thus, a large number of biomarkers that may be associated with PE have been identified based on proteomics to provide a reference for the prediction of PE and for the understanding of the pathological mechanisms of this disease. This article briefly summarizes the application of proteomics in PE and the potential protein biomarkers to provide a reference for other researchers.

Keywords: biomarkers; prediction; preeclampsia; protein; proteomics.
