Preeclampsia and Circulating Biomarkers

In order to assess circulating biomarkers of cardiovascular risk, we will conduct a 10-year follow-up study comparing 32 exposed (women with a history of pregnancy complicated by preeclampsia) and 32 unexposed (women with a history of uncomplicated pregnancy).

Participants will be recruited from a well-characterised cohort, previously assembled during their pregnancies, at the Department of Obstetrics at Randers Regional Hospital in 2001-2004.

Blood and urine samples, collected during their pregnancies, are stored in a biobank, thus rendering the possibility of longitudinal assessment.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Participation in previous study 2001-2005.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Current pregnancy or breastfeeding
