Abstract: 【Abstract】Preeclampsia is one of the most common causes of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes,even death. The ratio of soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1) and placental growth factor (PLGF) as a direct indicator of the dysregulation within placental syncytiotrophoblast cells. This ratio is poised to emerge as a pivotal biomarker for the prediction, auxiliary diagnosis, and prognosis of preeclampsia. This article delineates the pathophysiological role of the sFlt-1/PLGF ratio in the etiology and progression of preeclampsia. Furthermore, it offers a comprehensive summary of the clinical research advancements concerning the application of the sFlt-1/PLGF ratio in diagnosing, predicting, and treatment of preeclampsia.
