WHAT DOES PRE-ECLAMPSIA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

pre-eclampsia

Pre-eclampsia

Pre-eclampsia or preeclampsia is a disorder of pregnancy characterized by high blood pressure and large amounts of protein in the urine. Though present in the majority of cases, protein in the urine need not be present to make the diagnosis of preeclampsia. It involves many body systems and evidence of associated organ dysfunction may be used to make the diagnosis when hypertension is present. This includes the presence of a low blood platelet count, impaired liver function, the development of new kidney dysfunction, fluid accumulation in the lungs, and/or new-onset brain or visual disturbances. If left untreated, preeclampsia can develop into eclampsia, the life-threatening occurrence of seizures during pregnancy. Preeclampsia is associated with multiple maternal and fetal adverse effects. The cause and pathogenesis of preeclampsia has yet to be definitively uncovered, though the syndrome is almost certainly the result of multiple factors.
