	Volume 69 Issue 3, March 2020
	Gut microbiome and preeclampsia
	Night view of the beautiful Canton Tower in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China. Read in this issue the excellent work by Chen et al on the role of the gut microbiota in pre-eclampsia.
	Major finding:
	1.Inoculation of the gut microbiome from patients with PE triggered a significantly higher blood pressure before pregnancy and PE-like phenotypes during pregnancy, including worsened hypertension, exacerbation of proteinuria and intrauterine growth restriction.
	2.Higher levels of total bacteria and Fusobacterium and an altered microbiota profile were identified in PE placenta samples compared with in normotensive samples.
	3.Gut microbiota screening shows potential for predicting PE onset and provides a new approach for the prevention and treatment of this disease.
