Neither the full pathogenesis of preeclampsia nor the exact modes of action of hydroxychloroquine have been completely elucidated, but there are several common features which make hydroxychloroquine a promising option for the prevention and treatment of preeclampsia. Further research, especially prospective, randomized controlled trials, is needed to prove its efficacy.
