CRUZ HERNANDEZ, Jeddú; HERNANDEZ GARCIA, Pilar; YANES QUESADA, Marelis  and  ISLA VALDES, Ariana. Risk factors for preeclampsia: an immunoendocrine approach. Part I. Rev Cubana Med Gen Integr [online]. 2007, vol.23, n.4, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3038.

In this first part, a wide review of the classical risk factors for preeclampsia was made, making emphasis on the endocrine aspects in each case. It was proposed a classification that divided them into 2 large groups: maternal and environmental. This was the central axis from which the different aspects of this review were discussed, evidencing  the importance of the immunological and endocrine systems in the physiopathology, and the appearance of the hypertensive disease induced by pregnancy.

Keywords : Preeclampsia; risk factors; immunoendocrine approach.
