Overview
Eclampsia, like preeclampsia, tends to occur more commonly in first pregnancies and young mothers where it is thought that exposure to paternal antigens still has been low.
Risk Factor
- History of preeclampsia/eclampsia: Personal history of a similar event in the past or family history is a significant risk factor for recurrence in the next pregnancy.
- Women with preexisting vascular diseases:
- hypertension,
- diabetes, and
- nephropathy
- Preexisting thrombophilic diseases such as:
- Conditions with a large placenta:
- Genetics: Patients whose mother or sister had the condition are at a higher risk.[1]
