Overview
Preeclampsia is exclusively pregnancy associated disease originating from altered placentation. This condition causes an imbalance between antiangiogenic and proangiogenic substances in placenta as well as in mother‘s blood stream. In mother’s body endothelial dysfunction, hypertension syndrome and a series of successive states evolve. These can be further diagnosed. On the basis of this knowledge we already have an effective screening of preeclampsia in the I. trimester which allows us to provide efficient prevention. On the other side we still look for a test which would be able as effectively as possible not only diagnose an already on-going preeclampsia, but also state the risk of evolving this condition in the latter phases of pregnancy. A big hope has been recently put into a new bed-side test based on the use of congo red dye, named Congo Red Dot Paper Test.
Key words:
ASA – congo red – pathophysiology – preeclampsia – prevention – screening
