Aspirin for Postpartum Patients With Preeclampsia

Acetylsalicylic Acid for Postpartum Preeclampsia: A Pilot Randomized Trial

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the effect of low-dose aspirin on recovery from severe preeclampsia (a high blood pressure disorder of pregnancy) among women who have given birth. We hypothesize that taking aspirin for the first week after giving birth will enhance recovery from preeclampsia by decreasing the levels of a protein called soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase (sFlt-1), which is thought to be a main contributor to the development of preeclampsia, and speeding up return to a normal blood pressure.
