Preeclampsia is characterized by hypertension and proteinuria, and increased shedding of podocytes into the urine is a common finding. This finding raises the question of whether preeclamptic nephropathy involves podocyte damage. This study examined podocyte-related changes in a unique sample of renal tissues obtained from women who died of preeclampsia.
