A pioneering study published in Nature Medicine suggests that a blood filtration technique, known as apheresis, can safely reduce levels of the placental protein sFlt-1 and lower blood pressure in early-onset severe preeclampsia, potentially delaying disease progression and improving outcomes for both mother and baby, although larger controlled trials are needed to confirm these findings. #Preeclampsia #PregnancyHealth #MedicalResearch #Nocountrycodesarementionedinthearticle.
Current treatments for very early-stage preeclampsia, including corticosteroids and magnesium sulfate, do not safely prolong pregnancy, but an international research team has successfully tested a blood filtration technique called apheresis to reduce levels of the placental protein sFlt-1, potentially slowing disease progression and allowing for longer pregnancies without harming mothers or babies. #Preeclampsia #Pregnancy #MedicalResearch #GB #DE #AU #US
