The glomerular injury of preeclampsia Stillman IE; Karumanchi SAJ Am Soc Nephrol 2007[Aug]; 18 (8): 2281-4Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-specific disorder that complicates approximately 5% of all pregnancies, making it perhaps the most common glomerular disease in the world. It is characterized by new-onset hypertension and proteinuria, in association with a characteristic glomerular lesion, endotheliosis. "Glomerular endotheliosis" represents a specific variant of thrombotic microangiopathy that is characterized by glomerular endothelial swelling with loss of endothelial fenestrae and occlusion of the capillary lumens. Associated thrombosis is unusual. Recent evidence suggests that this unusual glomerular lesion is mediated by a soluble vascular endothelial growth factor receptor that deprives glomerular endothelial cells of the vascular endothelial growth factor that they require, leading to cellular injury and disruption of the filtration apparatus with subsequent proteinuria.
