Department of Nursing
The researcher investigated preeclampsia diagnosis through coagulation-related surrogate markers in a Ghanaian population, focusing specifically on FIB, PRWIF, and MIP-α levels as markers of high-pree-clampia risk. Their study highlighted the distinct patterns among preeclampsia subtypes, particularly FIB and PRWIF elevation, which were associated with higher risk, suggesting potential targeting of these coagulation factors for diagnostic purposes. The research also examined the role of comorbidities in influencing marker levels, indicating that patients with high-risk individuals and comorbid conditions may benefit more from tailored treatment strategies aimed at managing preeclampsia. This approach contributes to advancing a better understanding of preeclampsia diagnosis and treatment mechanisms within a Ghanaian population.
