Scientific research and progress in the field of preecampsia

Aim
Pregnancy is a period that consists of a number of changes, mainly influenced by hormones. One unexplored condition seen in pregnancy is preeclampsia. Its pathogenesis is influenced by a number of phenomena, including: endothelial activation or intravascular inflammation. Therefore, it seemed justified to compare individual parameters of patients with preeclampsia and patients without preeclampsia. The article aims to summarize the current knowledge about preeclampsia and compare it with the results of laboratory tests obtained on the basis of the analysis of the studied population.

Material and methods
The analysis was based on the test results of 72 patients of the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics hospitalized during the COVID-19 pandemic. Statistical analysis was performed using the Statistica 13 computer program.

Results
Data analysis revealed a correlation between the hemoglobin level and the Rh factor and the occurrence of preeclampsia, but no correlation was observed between preeclampsia and urine sediment analysis results other than proteinuria.

Conclusions
The results indicate what tests should be performed in patients with preeclampsia and indicate that the research should be expanded to include a larger number of observed patients. Hemoglobin concentration is an important predictor of preeclampsia in pregnant women. A noticeably larger number of anemic patients experience preeclampsia, which undoubtedly proves their coexistence in the pathomechanism of EPH-gestosis. In the studied population, the Rh factor had statistical significance. It is important to expand the research group to clearly determine whether blood type and the Rh factor influence the occurrence of preeclmapsia.
