Preeclampsia occurs in 2-7% of pregnancies and is defined by maternal hypertension with proteinuria. IQ Products is offering in close cooperation with and on behalf of Hy-Laboratories ltd (Israel) an ELISA to detect Placental Protein 13 (PP13). This is a specific protein made by the human placenta to support the pregnancy, control blood pressure and expand the blood vessels to and from the placenta thereby supporting normal pregnancy. The first trimester maternal blood PP13 level is an effective measure to predict a pregnant woman’s risk to develop preeclampsia. Low first trimester PP13 blood level indicates elevated risk to develop the disorder.
