We confirmed increased pre-pregnancy BMI in women with PE. Enhanced inflammatory state was confirmed in all women with overweight/obesity. Partly paradoxically we observed that PE women with obesity had less disturbed levels of angiogenic markers than normal weight women with PE. This should be taken into account when angiogenic markers are used in PE prediction.
