It was found in this study that PlGF has significantly lower levels in gestational hypertension than normal pregnancies, in concordance with the other impaired placentation diseases. Additionally, a better comparison of the PlGF values was obtained when separating early onset of preeclampsia <37 weeks and late-onset of preeclampsia 37≥ weeks of gestations.
