Frequently Asked Questions
What is preeclampsia?
Preeclampsia (pre-e-CLAMP-si-a) is a condition unique to human pregnancy. It is diagnosed by the elevation of the expectant mother’s blood pressure usually after the 20th week of pregnancy.
Who gets preeclampsia?
Preeclampsia and other hypertensive disorders of pregnancy occur in 5-8% of all pregnancies of women who have no known risk factors (see below). It is more apt to occur during the first pregnancy.
What is the cure?
Currently, the only “cure” for preeclampsia begins with delivery of the baby and placenta. When preeclampsia develops, the mother and her baby are monitored carefully. There are medications and treatments that may prolong the pregnancy, which can increase the baby’s chances of health and survival.
What causes preeclampsia?
The cause (etiology) of preeclampsia remains unknown. Numerous proposed theories have led to various attempts at prevention and intervention strategies, none of which have proven to be overwhelmingly successful. There is, however, general agreement that the placenta plays a key role in preeclampsia.
What can we do about preeclampsia?
Right now, early diagnosis through simple screening measures and good prenatal care can predict or delay many adverse maternal outcomes of preeclampsia. Prompt treatment saves lives.
What are the Preeclampsia Risk Factors?
Previous history of preeclampsia, Multiple gestation (i.e., pregnant with more than one baby), History of chronic high blood pressure, diabetes, kidney disease or organ transplant, First pregnancy, Obesity, particularly with Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or greater, Over 35 or under 20 years of age, Family history of preeclampsia (i.e., a mother, sister, grandmother or aunt had the disorder), Polycystic ovarian syndrome, Sickle cell disease, Black Race,
