Preeclampsia could be treated with 'blood filtering' therapy, early study hints
livescience - A blood-filtering therapy for preeclampsia is safe for pregnant patients and their babies, according to a new pilot study.
AI Summary: Early clinical work suggests removing a circulating anti‑angiogenic factor can safely extend pregnancies in severe preeclampsia. Researchers used targeted extracorporeal filtration to lower soluble Fms‑like tyrosine kinase‑1 (sFlt‑1) levels, improving maternal and fetal stability long enough to delay delivery and reduce immediate risks, meriting larger controlled trials.
