CONCLUSION: We reviewed the literature with a focus on proteinuria during pregnancy and preeclampsia. Several new diagnostic markers for preeclampsia were presented. Most of these are not yet implemented in clinical use and several are only used in studies or experimental conditions. Therefore, we recommend using proteinuria as a screening parameter for preeclampsia. The first screening should be UPC ratio. If the UPC ratio is below 150 mg/g total proteinuria is unlikely to be more than 300 mg/d and needs no further investigation at that time. For a UPC ratio greater than 150 mg/g we suggest performing a full 24-h urine protein collection as a second diagnostic tool for confirming accurate results. If a new onset of proteinuria greater than 300 mg/d together with hypertension and/or general oedema occurs after the 20th week of gestation the diagnosis of preeclampsia can be made. Atypical presentation must always be kept in mind. We presented different therapeutic options for preeclampsia.
