UP, uncomplicated pregnancy; EPE, early-onset preeclampsia; LPE, late-onset preeclampsia; GH, gestational hypertension; SGA, small for gestational age neonates; EH, essential hypertension; TBW, total body water; ECW, extracellular water; ICW, intracellular water; ECW%, fraction of extracellular water. Data are presented as corrected least-square means ± SD, representative for a nulliparous woman aged 30 years with BMI 23 kg/m2. Numbers of assessments per group per trimester are presented in Fig 1.
