A Study on Hypertension in Pregnancy | Chapter 4 | Issues and Development in Health Research Vol. 5

Pre-eclampsia and Eclampsia are referred to as "Hypertensive Disorder of Pregnancy" and "Pregnancy Toxaemia." Pre-eclampsia is a medical disease that causes a pregnant woman's blood pressure to rise and her urine to include substantial levels of protein. If left untreated, it can progress to eclampsia, a life-threatening condition that occurs when seizers occur during pregnancy. Hypertension is a primary cause of maternal and foetal morbidity, complicating 5% to 7% of all pregnancies. This is especially true when the raised blood pressure (BP) is due to pre-eclampsia, either alone (pure) or in combination with chronic vascular disease. Pre-eclampsia is a leading cause of preterm birth and a predictor of future cardiovascular and metabolic illnesses, whereas preterm delivery is connected to immediate neonatal morbidity and distant cardiovascular and metabolic disease in the newborn.
