Laboratory Findings
A finding of 300 mg of protein in a 24-hour urine sample (proteinuria) is necessary for a diagnosis of pre-eclampsia. Some women develop high blood pressure without the proteinuria (protein in urine); this is called Pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) or gestational hypertension. Both pre-eclampsia and PIH are regarded as very serious conditions and require careful monitoring of mother and baby.
