Preeclampsia

Introduction[edit | edit source]

Preeclampsia is a life-threatening cardiovascular disorder associated with pregnancy. Preeclampsia is marked by hypertension and proteinuria at 20 weeks of gestation. The underlying cause is not precisely known but likely heterogenous. Ample research suggests that for some women with preeclampsia, both maternal and placental vascular dysfunction plays a part in its' evolution and can carry on into the postpartum period. Possible changes include impaired placentation, and endothelial damage.[1]
