Preeclampsia (PE), an endothelial disease that affects kidney function during pregnancy, is correlated to increased future risk of cardiovascular and chronic disease. The Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) 2012 guideline emphasizes the combined role glomerular filtration rate (GFR) albuminuria in determining frequency monitoring function.In this study we evaluated prevalence CKD women with a history PE. We investigated how many seemingly healthy required according KDIGO...

Clinical guidelines are developed to lower risks, mostly viewed upon as probability. However, in daily practice, risk is perceived the combination of probability and impact desired adverse events. This can be visualized a matrix. We evaluated effect interventions diagnostic thresholds on modeled risk, by using matrix approach (RMA) clinical guideline development process, investigated which additional factors affected choices.To improve care outcomes, we new professionals had decide novel...

Preeclampsia (PE) is a pregnancy related endothelial disease characterized by hypertension and albuminuria. Postpartum dysfunction often persists in these women. We postulate that women with history of PE reduced dependent vasodilation coincides attenuated kidney function, as both reflect dysfunction.We assessed function (n=79) uncomplicated pregnancies (n=49) at least 4years postpartum. Women hypertension, diabetes or prior to were excluded. Brachial artery flow mediated dilatation (FMD)...

Preeclampsia, an endothelial disorder of pregnancy, predisposes to remote cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Whether there is accelerated effect aging on decline in former preeclamptic women unknown. We investigated if the arterial regarding endothelial-dependent and -independent vascular function more pronounced with a history preeclampsia as compared solely normotensive gestation(s). Data was used from Queen Hearts study (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT02347540); large cross-sectional early...
