Preeclampsia is a serious pregnancy complication that is a leading cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Of great interest is the study of new approaches to preventing, predicting, and treating this syndrome; however, it is difficult without understanding the basics of pathogenesis. The paper considers modern ideas about the mechanisms of preeclampsia. Fundamental significance is attached to the activation of the immune system; the cells of both innate and adaptive immunity are assumed to play a key role. It is known that epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA methylation and the action of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), regulate many genes, including those involved in inflammation and immune response, and can serve as prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets in preeclampsia.
Conclusion: The study of etiopathogenesis can become the basis for revealing the mechanism of this pregnancy complication, which directly facilitates the search for new markers for the early diagnosis of preeclampsia.

Keywords
