Overview
Preeclampsia is one of the leading causes of maternal and perinatal mortality worldwide and is defined as new-onset hypertension after 20 weeks of gestation or near the term accompanied by proteinuria or other [[maternal] organ involvement.Right upper quadrant or epigastric pain may be due to periportal and focal parenchymal liver necrosis, hepatic cell edema, or Glisson’s capsule distension.There is not always a correlation between liver pathology and laboratory testS. Headache is not a reliable symptom for preeclampsia with severe features and other neurologic abnormalities should be considered.
