Pregnancy-related hypertensive disorders are one of the main causes of maternal morbidity and death. Pregnancy complications caused by hypertension disorders are frequent and constitute one of the lethal triad—along with bleeding and infection—that significantly increases maternal morbidity and death.
The mother's risk of heart attack, cardiac failure, cerebral vascular
accidents, and renal failure increases with severe hypertension [3]. The risk
of issues such as inadequate oxygen transport through the placenta, foetal
growth restriction, premature delivery, placental abruption, stillbirth, and
neonatal mortality is also higher for the foetus and neonate.
Significant improvements in the treatment of the illnesses have resulted in
advice and suggestions that are supported by research. The decrease of maternal
morbidity and death depends on early identification and fast and effective care
because the aetiology is poorly understood and there are no effective
prediction techniques.
Increased understanding of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy among medical
professionals and greater public awareness of the illnesses, particularly among
women of reproductive age, are crucial for lowering the related morbidity and
death.
