Product catalog summary
Overview of Pre-eclampsia (PE) Diagnosis:
Pre-eclampsia is a multisystem disorder characterized by new-onset hypertension and maternal organ dysfunction after 20 weeks of gestation. A key diagnostic criterion is angiogenic imbalance, specifically an elevated sFlt-1/PlGF ratio or low PlGF level.
Diagnosis and Risk Identification:
  • Early detection of PE is enhanced by measuring the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio or PlGF levels, which are clinically validated with high accuracy.
  • Authoritative cut-off values are used for assessing early/late-onset PE and short-term prediction.
  • Personalized interpretation is achieved through gestational age and twin-specific reference ranges.
Incidence and Regional Variations:
The global incidence of PE is estimated at 2-8% of all pregnancies, with significant regional variations. It is a leading cause of maternal and fetal/neonatal morbidity and mortality.
Reference Standards and Guidelines:
  • Reference standards for angiogenic biomarkers vary based on gestational age and pregnancy type.
  • European guidelines strongly endorse using the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio for diagnosis and prediction.
  • The UK recommends PlGF-based testing to rule in/out suspected PE.
  • Japan has revised the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio cut-off to 100 for pregnancies ≥ 35 weeks.
Clinical Significance:
Elevated sFlt-1 levels and decreased PIGF levels are predictive of subsequent PE development. The 2025 guidelines emphasize the association of these biomarkers with gestational weeks.
Management and Screening:
  • A comprehensive risk assessment should be conducted from 11 to 13+6 weeks of pregnancy.
  • High-risk groups show lower PIGF levels, higher sFlt-1 levels, and a higher sFlt-1/PIGF ratio.
  • Combined detection offers high sensitivity (99.3%) and specificity (83%).
Technical Specifications of Detection System:
  • Rapid detection with a throughput of 80 tests/hour.
  • Portable and semi-automatic with a touch screen interface.
  • Supports real-time information sharing and is economical and efficient.

What is Pre-eclampsia? Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a multisystem disorder characterized by new-onset hypertension (systolic BP ≥140 mmHg and/or diastolic BP ≥90 mmHg) occurring after 20 weeks of gestation in a previously normotensive woman, combined with evidence of maternal organ dysfunction (e.g., proteinuria, acute kidney injury, liver involvement, neurological complications, hematological abnormalities) and/or uteroplacental dysfunction. A key diagnostic criterion per recent guidelines (ISSHP 2021) is angiogenic imbalance, specifically an elevated soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1) to...
