Arsala L, Silva Costa FD and Murthi P

A growing body of evidence has demonstrated that low vitamin D is associated with the pathophysiology of preeclampsia. As such, identification of the mechanisms behind this relationship and placental vascular endothelial dysfunction presents itself as a significant modifiable disease risk factor, which if identified and managed appropriately, may make a significant impact in reducing the burden of disease.
