Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy

Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy refer to high blood pressure-related conditions that develop during pregnancy, affecting both mother and baby. Common types include gestational hypertension (high blood pressure without other symptoms) and preeclampsia (high blood pressure with signs of organ damage, often involving the kidneys). These conditions can increase risks for complications such as preterm birth, organ problems, or fetal growth issues. Managing blood pressure, regular monitoring, and medical care are essential to reduce risks. Prompt treatment helps ensure the health and safety of both mother and baby during pregnancy.
