Clinical features Abnormal vasculogenesis and angiogenesis and releasing of anti-angiogenic factors results in Vasospasm Endothelial dysfunction Etiology of various clinical signs and symptoms
So, Preeclampsia usually develops in third trimester Abnormal placentation Endothelial dysfunction
Clinical diagnosis of Preeclampsia ACOG Task Force on Hypertension in Pregnancy 2013
Classification of Preeclampsia Preeclampsia-eclampsia Chronic hypertension Chronic hypertension with superimposed preeclampsia Gestational hypertension
Preeclampsia-eclampsia 2013 PROTEINURIA Not always necessary HYPERTENSION OR SEVERE FEATURES **edema, IUGR, oligohydramnios, 24 hour proteinuria > 5 gms/day NOT include in diagnostic criteria
Systolic BP 140 Diastolic BP 90 (4 hours apart) HYPERTENSION
24 hours ≥ 300 mg Urine dipstick ≥ 1+ PROTEINURIA
SEVERE FEATURES Severe hypertension (≥ 160/110 mmHg) Low platelet count (< 100,000/cu.mm.) Abnormal liver function (Increase AST/ALT 2 folds or RUQ pain) Abnormal renal function (Cr > 1.1 mg/dl or 2 folds of baseline level) Pulmonary edema Symptoms of nervous system and vision CBC with platelet, AST, ALT, LDH, Creatinine, Bilirubin, Uric acid
Mild preeclampsia Severe preeclampsia Preeclampsia without severe features Severe preeclampsia Preeclampsia with severe features
ECLAMPSIA
fit during pregnancy 38-55%
fit 18-36% during labor
fit 11-44% postpartum Mostly within 48 hours
Can Preeclampsia-eclampsia be prevented?
ASPIRIN Low dose aspirin (60-80 mg) for high risk group beginning in the late first trimester
ASPIRIN High risk group Previous preeclampsia, diabetes, hypertension, renal disease, autoimmune disease, multiple pregnancy
Preeclampsia-eclampsia Principle of management
Preeclampsia-eclampsia Controlling or prevention of eclampsia Lowering blood pressure Adequate hydration Termination of pregnancy

2 Special precaution Do not prescribe diazepam (valium®) in case of preeclampsia-eclampsia Unless status epilepticus was observed
3 Limited IV access
4 Termination as soon as possible 37 weeks gestation Preeclampsia without severe features 37 weeks gestation Preeclampsia with severe features at least 34 weeks gestation
4 Termination as soon as possible Expectant management should be considered If GA >24 to < 34 weeks gestation and available NICU Corticosteroids are recommended if GA < 34 weeks gestation
