Definition:
Preeclampsia is a disease mainly occurs in pregnant ladies. This disease characterized by high blood pressure and it also damages the other organs of the body. This Preeclampsia disease usually starts after 20-25 weeks of pregnancy in a woman whose blood pressure is in normal stage. Even for simple complications in blood pressure may be a sign of Preeclampsia. Left untreated, preeclampsia can lead to serious — even fatal — complications for both you and your baby. If you have preeclampsia, the only cure is delivery of your baby. If you're diagnosed with preeclampsia too early in your pregnancy to deliver your baby, you and your doctor face a challenging task. Your baby needs more time to mature, but you need to avoid putting yourself or your baby at risk of serious complications.
Symptoms:
Sometimes Preeclampsia may develop without any symptoms. High blood pressure may develop slowly, but more commonly it has a sudden onset. Monitoring your blood.
Treatment: The main cure for preeclampsia is only delivery. You're at increased risk of seizures, placental abruption, stroke and possibly severe bleeding until your blood pressure decreases. Of course, if it's too early in your pregnancy, delivery may not be the best thing for your baby. If you're diagnosed with preeclampsia, your doctor will let you know how often you'll need to come in for prenatal visits — likely more frequently than what's typically recommended for pregnancy. You'll also need more-frequent blood tests, ultrasounds and nonstress tests than would be expected in an uncomplicated pregnancy. Possible treatment for preeclampsia may include: Medications to lower blood pressure, Corticosteroids, Anticonvulsant medications
Statistics: In Germany, the analysis in a total of 212 obstetrician-gynaecologists (42.4%) responded to the Survey. A large number of physicians stated that Preeclampsia was associated with a higher risk for the development for hypertension (High Blood Pressure) (86.6%), stroke (78.5%) and kidney disease (78.0%). Of the participants 75.8% reported that women after Preeclampsia have a shorter life expectancy. Respondents with knowledge of the current guidelines of the German Association of Obstetrics and Gynaecology concerning follow up and risk management of PE (45.2%) were more often aware of the development of CVD and stroke and counselled patients on self -blood-pressure measurement, meaning and long-term-risks of Preeclampsia and attached importance to family history of Preeclampsia compared to physicians with no knowledge of the guidelines.
