Proteinuria in Preeclampsia and Long-Term Risk of Maternal Kidney and Cardiovascular Disease: A Population-Based Cohort Study

Listen to this summary

This study investigates the relationship between urinary protein excretion (UPE) levels during preeclampsia and the long-term risks of maternal hypertension, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and cardiovascular disease (CVD). The findings indicate that women with preeclampsia face elevated risks for these conditions, with higher UPE levels correlating with increased risks of hypertension and CKD. Overall, the research underscores the importance of monitoring UPE in pregnant women to assess long-term health outcomes.
