Key result
Preeclampsia was associated with significantly elevated maternal plasma MR-proANP compared with normotensive pregnancies (135 vs 56 pmol/L; P<0.001), which resolved 5 to 8 years postpartum.

Acute MR-proANP elevation in preeclampsia resolves postpartum; leaves open its long-term prognostic utility.
Observational (n=233)
Are MR-proANP levels elevated during and after preeclamptic pregnancies compared to normotensive pregnancies?
Absolute Event Rate: 135% vs 56%
p-value: p=<0.001
MR-proANP is significantly elevated during preeclamptic pregnancies, likely reflecting acute cardiovascular hemodynamic stress, but normalizes 5 to 8 years postpartum.
Sugulle et al. (2011) conducted an observational in Preeclampsia (n=233). Preeclampsia vs. Normotensive pregnancies was evaluated on Maternal plasma MR-proANP levels (p=<0.001). Preeclampsia was associated with significantly elevated maternal plasma MR-proANP compared with normotensive pregnancies (135 vs 56 pmol/L; P<0.001), which resolved 5 to 8 years postpartum.
