Highlights

Pre-eclampsia (PE) is an idiopathic disorder of pregnancy characterized by proteinuric hypertension and still one of the most important causes of maternal and fetal mortality
Among the women 44% were suffering from preeclampsia, a condition in pregnancy characterized by high blood pressure, sometimes with fluid retention and proteinuria
The age range of these women was divided into three categories shown in Figure 1, where 9% respondents were below 20 years, 75% were 20 to years and about 16% were in years and above (Figure 1)

Summary

Introduction

Pre-eclampsia (PE) is an idiopathic disorder of pregnancy characterized by proteinuric hypertension and still one of the most important causes of maternal and fetal mortality. Preeclampsia is a condition during pregnancy where there is a sudden, sharp rise in blood pressure, edema, and albuminuria. It generally develops during the third trimester and affects about 1 in 20 pregnancies [1]. Pre-eclampsia (PE) is an idiopathic disorder of pregnancy, characterized by proteinuric hypertention. It is still one of the important causes of maternal and fetal mortality. Deaths from hemorrhage and infection have almost disappeared and eclampsia has become the prime killer, indicating that death from eclampsia is difficult to prevent
