RESUMEN
La preeclampsia es un trastorno multisistémico caracterizado por hipertensión inducida por el embarazo, asociada a proteinuria, edema e incremento de la permeabilidad vascular. Aparece en la segunda mitad de la gestación y es característicamente reversible en el post parto. Además puede presentar múltiples complicaciones llegando incluso a la muerte del feto o de su progenitora.De su fisiopatología aún en estudio, se ha podido concluir que es una sucesión multifactorial de eventos que se centran principalmente en dos etapas la primera es una invasión placentaria pobre que conlleva una isquemia secundaria y una segunda etapa caracterizada por una activación endotelial y una respuesta autoinmune exagerada. Para cada una de estas etapas se han descrito múltiples alteraciones moleculares, las que se ven influidas tanto por la carga genética, factores maternos, paternos, del feto y también del ambiente.
ABSTRACT
Preeclampsia is a multisystemic disorder characterized by hypertension induced by the pregnancy, associated to proteinuria, edema and increase of the vascular permeability. It appears during the second half of gestation and is characteristically reversible during postpartum. In addition, it can elicit many complications including the death of the fetus or the mother. Of its physiopathology still in study, it has been possible to conclude that it is a multifactorial succession of events divided mainly in two stages first there is a poor placental invasion that leads to secondary ischemia and the second stage is characterized by an endothelial activation and an exaggerated autoimmune response. For each one of these stages, multiple molecular alterations have been described, which are influenced by genetic load, maternal and father factors, fetal factors and also by environmental factors.
