Kisspeptin and preeclampsia

We read the recent article by Ziyaraa et  al. [1] entitled “Correlation of Kisspeptin-10 level and fetal well-being in preeclamptic patients” published in the Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology with interest. The authors reported that plasma kisspeptin-10 level was lower in preeclamptic pregnant women and inversely correla ted with the severity of the disease [1]. In addition, plasma kisspeptin-10 level at either second or third trimester directly correlated with fetal birth weight in women with mild preeclampsia but inversely correlated with fetal birth weight in women with severe preeclampsia.
