Abstract

Preeclampsia is a life-threatening syndrome developing in pregnancy, the main features of which are hypertension and proteinuria. Frequency of preeclampsia has no tendency to decrease (3-7%), and it still takes the leading position in the structure of maternal mortality and morbidity worldwide. In this review, we present the “fibrotic concept” of the etiology and pathogenesis of preeclampsia, which involves system consisting of Na/K-ATPase and its endogenous ligands including marinobufagenin induced Fli1 inhibition. New therapy of preeclampsia includes modulation of the Na/K-ATPase system by immunoneutralization of marinobufagenin.
