## Preeclampsia (PE) QSP Model — mrgsolve ODE Implementation

## =============================================================================

## Disease: Preeclampsia / Eclampsia

## Model type: PK/PD multi-compartment ODE

## Version: 1.0 | Date: 2026-06-25

## KEY PATHWAYS MODELED:

## 1. Angiogenic imbalance: sFlt-1 ↑, PlGF ↓, sEng ↑

## 2. Endothelial dysfunction: NO↓, ET-1↑, ROS↑

## 3. Cardiovascular: SVR↑ → SBP/DBP↑

## 4. Renal: GFR↓, proteinuria↑, glomerular endotheliosis

## 5. Coagulation/HELLP: platelet count↓, LDH↑, hemolysis

## 6. Neurological: seizure threshold↓ → eclampsia risk

## 7. Drug PK/PD: Aspirin, Labetalol, Nifedipine, MgSO4

## CLINICAL CALIBRATION REFERENCES:
