Preeclampsia is a condition also known as toxemia. It starts after 20 weeks of pregnancy and causes high blood pressure, protein in the urine and problems with the kidneys and other organs.
All pregnant women are at risk for developing preeclampsia.
Women at higher risk include:
Preeclampsia affects both mother and baby. Left untreated, preeclampsia can cause maternal stroke, seizures or fetal death. If you have preeclampsia, close maternal and fetal surveillance is necessary to determine the best time to deliver your baby. Some women with preeclampsia need inpatient observation while others may be watched closely without being admitted to the hospital until time for delivery.
