Abstract
A method of determining the presence of preeclampsia is provided wherein a determination is made as to whether there has been a substantial elevation in marinobufagenin which may be a blood-derived or urine-derived and if such elevation does exist concluding that preeclampsia does exist in a patient. The method may advantageously be practiced by employing urine, blood serum or blood plasma as the body specimen containing the protein in determining whether a patient has preeclampsia. The method may include subsequent therapeutic patient treatment. Related diagnostic apparatus is also provided.
