Abstract: The preeclampsia (PE) is defined as a complication of the hypertension during the pregnancy, having multifactorial characteristics. The PE has a much higher prevalence among the women with diabetes mellitus. Both diabetes and preeclampsia are regarded as major pregnancy both for the mother and the foetus. The pathologic mechanism involving the PE at the women with diabetes mellitus is not fully comprehended. The evaluation of insulin-resistance by the homeostatic model (HOMA-IR) is used to define the insulin-resistance as a predictor for the cardiovascular diseases. The study was performed on pregnant women hospitalised at the Department of Obstetrics-Gynaecology of the Arad County University Clinical Emergency Hospital during 2014-2015. We included in the study pregnant women with pregnancy of 11 to 14 weeks, with or without risk factors for the PE, for whom PAPP-A and insulinemia (for calculating the HOMA-IR) have been dosed, in order to correlate the results with the further development of the PE during the pregnancy.
