Role of the Maternal Microbiota on the Immune Response and Metabolism During Hypertensive Disorders

Sponsor: Istituto Clinico Humanitas

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Preeclampsia (PE) is a significant cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality, characterized by high blood pressure and proteinuria during pregnancy. It has two main phenotypes: one linked to placental damage and the other to metabolic factors like obesity. Early identification of high-risk groups is crucial, though there's ongoing disagreement over its classification. Research suggests a potential connection between maternal gut bacteria and PE, offering avenues for improved prevention strategies. This study aims to investigate the differences in maternal gut microbiota between these two PE phenotypes.
