Purpose
Pre-eclampsia is one of the most common causes of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study is to identify pregnant women at risk for pre-eclampsia or other cardiovascular complications at a very early state of the disease, and thereby improve the current method of screening.

| Study Type: | Observational |
| Study Design: | Screening, Longitudinal, Case Control, Prospective Study |
| Official Title: | Prospective Study of Hypercoagulation in Pregnant Women |
| Estimated Enrollment: | 600 |
| Study Start Date: | January 2004 |
| Estimated Study Completion Date: | October 2007 |
600 pregnant women will be included in the project and followed in a standardized manner during their pregnancy. On a regular basis blood- and urine samples will be taken throughout their pregnancy and until 1 month after delivery and analyzed for a large variety of coagulation factors in order to identify factors that might predict an increased risk of developing pre-eclampsia and/or cardiovascular events. In addition a DNA-sample is taken if consented in order to evaluate genetic factors.
