Image from Licence Details: Method for diagnosis of Early Onset Pre-eclampsia (EOPE)

Applications: Diagnostics, women’s health

Preeclampsia is a major cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Identifying women with high risk of developing preeclampsia in early pregnancy remains challenging. Researchers at Oxford have developed a method to identify those at risk of developing the condition that offers advantages over existing diagnostic approaches. (Jiang, S. et.al. Hypertension, 2023)

Features Benefits
  • Detects patients who will develop EOPE in the first trimester.
  • Allows for early monitoring and intervention leading to better patient outcomes.
  • Based on analysis of biomarkers found on circulating placental-derived small extra-cellular vesicles (psEV).
  • Simple sample collection and preparation.
  • Requires only a small quantity (12.5ug) of blood serum.
