Evidence supporting that the excess of the sVEGFR-1 concentration in maternal plasma in preeclampsia has a uterine origin

Abstract

Plasma concentration of sVEGFR-1 was higher in the uterine vein than in the antecubital vein in women with preeclampsia. This provides evidence supporting the concept that the uterus is a potential source of the excess circulating sVEGFR-1 concentration in preeclamptic women.
