Gestational blood glucose levels and pre-eclampsia risk across pregnancy trimesters (IMAGE)
Caption
This image illustrates the relationship between blood glucose levels during pregnancy and the development of pre-eclampsia. When blood glucose remains within normal ranges, pre-eclampsia is excluded, with normal blood pressure and healthy kidneys and liver function. In contrast, elevated blood glucose levels in late pregnancy correlate with a pre-eclampsia diagnosis, presenting symptoms such as high blood pressure, proteinuria, and potential liver complications.
