Preeclampsia is a potentially serious pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure and in most cases the presence of protein in the urine, typically manifesting after 20 weeks of pregnancy. While the exact etiology is not fully known, factors like blood vessel problems, immune system issues, and genetics are believed to play roles. Symptoms can include severe headaches, vision changes, abdominal pain, and swelling. Preeclampsia could cause complications for both the mother and baby, including preterm birth, organ damage, and, in severe cases, eclampsia, which involves seizures. Management strategies include close monitoring, medications to manage blood pressure, and, in more severe cases, early delivery of the baby. All pregnant women should receive regular prenatal care to monitor and address any potential signs of preeclampsia.
