Etiology of late gestosis

The Etiology of Late gestosis remains incompletely understood. Numerous theories have been proposed to explain The Nature of this condition (including intoxication, renal, endocrine, and placental theories). While most researchers lean toward a polyetiological origin of gestosis, the undisputed triggering factor is the presence of Pregnancy within the maternal body. The Development of late gestosis is possible only under conditions of an ongoing gestational process, and Termination of the pregnancy initiates recovery. Crucially, it is not the fetus itself that determines this, but rather the presence of placental tissue, as evidenced by cases of late gestosis occurring in instances of fetal demise or Hydatidiform Mole.
