Abstract: Preeclampsia is a condition unique to pregnancy, characterized by hypertension\\nand proteinuria. Nulliparous pregnancies and those affected by preexisting hypertension,\\ndiabetes and renal disease are at increased risk. Preeclampsia may develop during\\npregnancy, labor or in the early puerperium, and it occurs in about 5 percent of all\\npregnancies. It is a complex clinical syndrome potentially involving all maternal\\norgan systems, with hypertension representing but one manifestation.
