What Causes Preeclampsia?
4. Immune System
If something was to go wrong with our immune system then it would not be long before we know all about it. Maintenance on our bodies might stop, and we will also become more susceptible to pathogens. We are dependent on our immune system for our well-being, but it can sometimes work against us.
Some people have conditions that are known as autoimmune conditions. These are diseases where the patient’s immune system actually starts to attack their body rather than protect it. Some studies have shown the preeclampsia might be a result of an autoimmune condition in at least some cases.
