Biomarkers and point of care screening approaches for the management of preeclampsia.

Preeclampsia is a multi-organ pregnancy complication, that is primarily detected when pregnant people have high blood pressure, and is confirmed by testing for the presence of protein in the urine. While more specific and accurate diagnostic and imaging tests are becoming available, they are still in the process of undergoing widespread regulatory adoption, and so are not yet the standard of care. Since biochemical processes are a precursor to the systemic progression of disease, we review some established, emerging, and promising biomarkers that are proposed to be associated with preeclampsia, and newly developed approaches for screening them at the point of care, to reduce the burden of the disease.
