Preeclampsia is a pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure associated with damage to various organs, especially the kidneys. It happens in about 1 to 5% of pregnant women and can cause serious problems for both the mother and the baby. Several multi-omics studies have already been conducted on preeclampsia, with promising results. However, this is preliminary data that requires further studies. The molecular markers identified in this type of study could potentially be used, first of all, for the early screening of this condition, which is not yet reliably achievable. In addition, the knowledge gained from this research would help us better understand the pathophysiology of preeclampsia. Therefore, the investigators' goal is to carry out a multi-omics analysis of preeclampsia to uncover the genetic and molecular mechanisms involved in this condition.
This study is a cross-sectional, prospective, comparative, and single-center study. It compares a group of 50 pregnant women with severe preeclampsia to a control group of 50 pregnant women without any pathology.

Identifying genetic and molecular markers associated with severe forms of preeclampsia
Identify, from blood, urine, and placental samples, the changes in genetic and molecular signatures as well as in cell composition associated with severe forms of preeclampsia, by comparing the expression levels of the signatures and the relative abundance of different cell populations between patients with severe preeclampsia and control patients.
