New Blood Test Predicts Preeclampsia Months Before Symptoms, Study Shows

A groundbreaking study reveals cell-free RNA analysis can predict dangerous pregnancy complications months before symptoms appear. The research demonstrates distinct molecular signatures for different preeclampsia subtypes, potentially enabling earlier interventions.

Breakthrough in Prenatal Care

Medical researchers have developed a blood test that can predict early-onset preeclampsia approximately 18 weeks before clinical diagnosis, according to a new study published in a major medical journal. The research analyzed cell-free RNA (cfRNA) profiles in pregnant women throughout pregnancy, comparing those who developed preeclampsia with normotensive controls.
