Abstract

Preeclampsia is a disorder affecting multiple organ systems. Preeclampsia with severe features may prompt consideration of delivery. The diagnostic criteria for preeclampsia with severe features, while focusing upon maternal cardiopulmonary, neurological, hepatic, renal and haematological systems, vary considerably in international practice guidelines. In the absence of alternative causes, severe hyponatraemia, pleural effusions and ascites, and abrupt severe maternal bradycardia are proposed as possible additional criteria for the diagnosis of preeclampsia.
