Risk Factors for Preeclampsia

Abstract
An estimated 50,000 women per year worldwide die from preeclampsia. Preeclampsia is more likely to develop in women whose mothers had preeclampsia than in women whose mothers did not.1 The daughters-in-law of women who had preeclampsia are also somewhat more likely to have preeclampsia than other women.
