The association between chorionic villus sampling and preeclampsia.

30 Jul 2009 OBJECTIVE: To determine whether an association exists between prenatal diagnostic procedures and preeclampsia. METHODS: All women who underwent invasive prenatal diagnosis and were not at high risk for preeclampsia were identified during a 15-month ... Read more...

Kidney transplantation and pregnancy.

30 Jul 2009 PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The purpose of this review is to improve the basis upon which advice on pregnancy is given to renal transplant recipients in the reproductive age group. The review attempts to impart up-to-date evidence-based information on the ... Read more...

Insights into angiogenic imbalances during pregnancy.

30 Jul 2009 BACKGROUND: An excess of either angiogenic or antiangiogenic factors may participate in the pathophysiology of life-threatening pregnancy complications. CASES: We describe two patients with severe early onset preeclampsia associated with partial ... Read more...
