What this trial studies
The Preeclampsia Registry aims to collect and store medical information from women diagnosed with preeclampsia and related hypertensive disorders, as well as their family members and healthy controls. This observational study utilizes a web-based survey and medical record review to gather data that will help researchers understand the causes and mechanisms of preeclampsia. The information collected will support immediate research projects and may lead to the development of new treatments and diagnostic approaches for this serious pregnancy complication. Participants may also be contacted for future studies or to provide biospecimens.
