Pre-eclampsia be a multi-system disorder specific to pregnancy, wey be characterized by de new onset of high blood pressure den often a significant amount of protein insyd de urine (proteinuria) anaa by de new onset of high blood pressure along plus significant end-organ damage, plus anaa widout de proteinuria.[1][2][3][4] Wen e dey arise, de condition dey begin after 20 weeks of pregnancy.[5][6] Insyd severe cases of de disease der fi be red blood cell breakdown, a low blood platelet count, impaired liver function, kidney dysfunction, swelling, shortness of breath secof fluid insyd de lungs, anaa visual disturbances.[5][6] Pre-eclampsia dey increase de risk of undesirable as well as lethal outcomes give both de mommie den de fetus wey dey include preterm labor.[7][8][6] If dem lef untreated, e fi result in seizures at wich point e be known as eclampsia.[9]

Risk factors for pre-eclampsia dey include obesity, prior hypertension, older age, den diabetes mellitus.[9] E sanso be more frequent insyd a woman ein first pregnancy den if she dey carry twins.[9] De underlying mechanisms be complex den involve abnormal formation of blood vessels insyd de placenta amongst oda factors.[9] Dem dey diagnose de cases before delivery, den fi be categorized wey dey depend on de gestational week at delivery.[7] Commonly, pre-eclampsia dey continue into de period after delivery, then be known as postpartum pre-eclampsia.[10][11] Rarely, pre-eclampsia fi begin insyd de period after delivery.[6] While historically both high blood pressure den protein insyd de urine be required to make de diagnosis, sam definitions sanso dey include those plus hypertension den any associated organ dysfunction.[4][6] Blood pressure is defined as high when it is greater than 140 mmHg systolic anaa 90 mmHg diastolic at two separate times, more dan four hours apart insyd a woman after twenty weeks of pregnancy.[6] Pre-eclampsia be routinely screened during prenatal care.[12][13]

Recommendations for prevention dey include: aspirin insyd those at high risk, calcium supplementation insyd areas plus low intake, den treatment of prior hypertension plus medications.[14] Insyd those plus pre-eclampsia, delivery of de baby den placenta be an effective treatment buh full recovery fi take days anaa weeks.[10] De point at wich delivery cam be recommended dey depend on how severe de pre-eclampsia be den how far along insyd pregnancy a woman be.[15] Blood pressure medication, such as labetalol den methyldopa, fi be used to improve de mommie ein condition before delivery.[16] Magnesium sulfate fi be used to prevent eclampsia insyd those plus severe disease. Bed rest den salt intake no be useful for either treatment anaa prevention.[6][15]

Pre-eclampsia dey affect 2–8% of pregnancies worldwide.[17][8] Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (wich include pre-eclampsia) be one of de most common causes of death secof pregnancy.[18] Dem result in 46,900 deaths insyd 2015.[19] Pre-eclampsia usually dey occur after 32 weeks; however, if e dey occur earlier e be associated plus worse outcomes.[18] Women wey get pre-eclampsia be at increased risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, den stroke later insyd life.[20][21] Further, those plus pre-eclampsia fi get a lower risk of breast cancer.[22]
