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 organs involvement. Proteinuria may be negative, then other maternal organ dysfunction should be evaluated. Previous classification of preeclampsia into mild and severe is not used now due to suddenly worsening of the preeclampsia in any stage. 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. Other neurologic abnormalities should be evaluated. Headache,blurred vision,scotoma,hyperreflexia, temporary blindness may happen in the course of disease. If tonic-clonic seizure happens, it defines as eclapsia.
