A method of treatment of pre-eclampsia in a pregnant woman comprising administering clinical intervention to the pregnant woman previously identified as being at increased risk of developing pre-eclampsia, wherein the pregnant woman is previously identified as being at increased risk of developing pre-eclampsia by assaying a biological sample from the pregnant woman to determine an abundance of Di-(octadecadienoyl)-sn-glycerol relative to a reference abundance, and wherein an increased abundance of Di-(octadecadienoyl)-sn-glycerol relative to the reference abundance is detected.
