What Causes Preeclampsia?
6. Blood Vessel Damage
Our blood vessels are made of a material that is strong yet flexible, and they need to be strong enough to be able to withstand the pressure of the blood flowing through them. Some are stronger than others, though, and the smaller blood vessels are particularly prone to becoming damaged.
If you have received an impact injury to the wrong place then it might mean that your blood does not flow as well as it should. Blood vessels might also become damaged due to other reasons, such as blood being forced through them at a high pressure. Regardless, it is thought that damaged blood vessels are a potential cause of preeclampsia.
