Preeclampsia

Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-related condition characterized by high blood pressure and signs of damage to other organs, often the kidneys. It typically occurs after the 20th week of pregnancy and can lead to serious complications for both the mother and baby if not managed properly. Symptoms may include swelling, headaches, and vision changes. The exact cause is not fully understood, but it may involve problems with blood vessels and the placenta. Early diagnosis and monitoring are crucial; in severe cases, the best treatment may involve delivering the baby, even if it is premature.
