Preeclampsia and Eclampsia, Biochemical mechanisms of Pathophysiology. Prediction,diagnosis and management.

Dear Colleagues, Preeclampsia and Eclampsia are serious hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.These clinical entities are diagnosed after 20 weeks of gestation and may affect many organs such as , liver,kidneys,brain etc. The mechanisms that trigger these conditions are not fully understood however the role of placenta is crucial and several mechanisms of development of hypertensive disease have been proposed. Prediction,diagnosis and management is a difficult task that may require a multidisciplinary clinical approach by several specialties. In this issue we welcome Narrative reviews,Systematic reviews, Mini-reviews,Observational,Experimental studies regarding Preeclampsia and Eclampsia. Emphasis is given in mechanisms of development biochemical,molecular,genetic; in the prediction,diagnosis and management. Furthermore the cardinal topic of future directions should be discussed.
