Increased Prevalence of Preeclampsia among Women Undergoing Procedural Intervention for Renal Artery Fibromuscular Dysplasia

Women with a history of procedural intervention for symptomatic RA stenosis have an overall prevalence of preeclampsia which greatly exceeds that expected in the general population, and our results suggest that preeclampsia is specifically associated with RA-FMD. Further investigation is needed to characterize the mechanistic relationships between FMD and preeclampsia and may have potential to decrease related cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
