| Popis: | Preeclampsia is a multisystem disorder of pregnancy that remains a leading cause of maternal and foetal morbidity and mortality. It is still an underestimated risk factor for future cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and kidney disease, developing often in the perimenopausal period of a woman’s life. It remains unclear whether preeclampsia is an individual risk factor for future cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and renal events or an early marker of women with high-risk profiles for these diseases. Risk factors for cardiovascular disorders and preeclampsia are very similar and include the following: obesity, dyslipidaemia, insulin resistance, pro-inflammatory and hypercoagulable state, and endothelial dysfunction. Thus, the pregnancy can only be a trigger for cardiovascular alterations that manifest in development of preeclampsia. On the other hand, there is strong evidence that changes in cardiovascular, endothelial, and metabolic systems occurring in the course of preeclampsia may not fully recover after delivery and can be a cause of future disease, especially in the presence of other metabolic risk factors regarding, for example, perimenopause. In this review the authors present current knowledge about short- and long-term maternal consequences of preeclampsia, such as: cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular incidents (posterior reversible encephalopathy and stroke), kidney injury (including the risk of end-stage renal disease), liver failure, and coagulopathy (thrombocytopenia and disseminated intravascular coagulation). |
