Preeclampsia
Preeclampsia
Description
One type of high blood pressure (hypertension) disorder that can develop during pregnancy is preeclampsia. Additional problems may also develop: High blood pressure that develops after 20 weeks of pregnancy, without kidney or other organ issues, is called gestational hypertension. Preeclampsia can occur in some pregnant women with gestational hypertension.
Pre-eclampsia is believed to result from the placenta’s inability to develop normally as a result of a problem with the blood vessels that supply it. In the United States, preeclampsia and related hypertension diseases during pregnancy affect 5-8% of all births. Preeclampsia patients typically give birth to healthy children and fully recover. However, some women will experience complications, some of which could endanger the life of the mother or the unborn child.
About halfway through pregnancy, a hazardous medical condition called preeclampsia can develop (after 20 weeks). High blood pressure, protein in the urine, swelling, headaches, and impaired vision are all symptoms of preeclampsia. A healthcare professional must handle the treatment of this condition.
