Abstract
Proteomics-based characterization of urine in preeclampsia identified a proteomic fingerprint composed of SERPINA1 and albumin fragments, which can accurately diagnose preeclampsia and shows promise to discriminate it from other hypertensive proteinuric diseases. These findings provide insight into a novel pathophysiological mechanism of preeclampsia related to SERPINA1 misfolding, which may offer new therapeutic opportunities in the future.
