The Preeclampsia Foundation is an organization that aims to address the significant unmet need for an effective treatment for preeclampsia, a common and severe complication of pregnancy characterized by high blood pressure and multiple organ failure. Preeclampsia affects between 3% and 5% of all pregnancies in the US and is responsible for approximately 20% of all preterm births. It can lead to a range of complications for both the mother and the baby, including multi-organ damage, seizures, and premature birth. Currently, delivery of the baby is the only definitive cure for preeclampsia. The signs and symptoms of preeclampsia can vary and include high blood pressure, acute kidney injury, swelling in the hands and face, severe headaches, vision changes, and abdominal pain. Treatment may include close monitoring of blood pressure and urine protein levels, bed rest, and medication to lower blood pressure.
