Patients were classified as inactive SLE (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Pregnancy Disease Activity Index [SLEPDAI] &lt;4), active disease (SLEPDAI \u22654), or preeclampsia (PE). Medians and interquartile ranges were calculated for each group, and linear models with random effects were used.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 527 samples were obtained from 163 patients, and all patients were subsequently classified as having inactive disease (109 patients [66.9%]), active disease (33 patients [20.2%]), and inactive disease with PE (21 patients [12.9%]). In exploratory analysis, patients with PE had higher mean serum levels of sFlt1 and sFlt1:PlGF ratios and lower PlGF levels than patients with inactive and active SLE (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.01 to <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001). Using linear models with random effects, there was no significant differences in mean serum levels of these angiogenic markers comparing inactive and active disease. Patients with PE showed a marked increase in sFlt1 levels from the 24th week, constantly low PlGF levels from the 14th week, and progressive increase of sFlt1:PlGF ratio during pregnancy. All these differences were statistically significant compared to the groups without PE.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Pregnant patients with SLE who developed PE had higher sFlt1 levels and sFlt1:PlGF ratios and lower PlGF levels, and these last two changes were detected at the beginning of second trimester, before clinical manifestation.
