PREGNANCY INVOLVES METABOLIC CHANGES WHICH OCCUR IN ORDER TO SUSTAIN A PROPER GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE FETUS. A SERIES OF PREEXISTING OR COINCIDENT METABOLIC ALTERATIONS PREDISPOSE TO FURTHER COMPLICATIONS DURING THIS PARTICULAR STAGE IN A WOMAN`S LIFE. OBESITY AND METABOLIC SYNDROME PREDISPOSE TO CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE, GESTATIONAL DIABETES, IMPAIRED RENAL FUNCTION AND OTHER EVENTS THAT L EAD TO SEVERE OUTCOMES SUCH AS PREECLAMPSIA . IN THIS ARTICLE WE DISCUSS A FEW METABO LIC ASPECTS INVOLVED IN THE PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF PREECLAMPSIA, ACCORDING TO OUR EXPERIENCE AT THE BUCHAREST EMERGENCY UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL.
