Preeclampsia is a serious pregnancy disorder with incidence rates ranging from 3-7% [1] that causes approximately 14% of all pregnancy-related maternal deaths and 15% of premature births worldwide [2]. This condition is characterized by maternal hypertension, glomerular endotheliosis, and proteinuria which usually occur in the last trimester of pregnancy. The complete pathogenesis of preeclampsia is still unclear [3].
