Description
Summary:Preeclampsia is an obstetric complication that is characterized through hypertension and proteinuria which appear after week 20 of pregnancy, more frequent in the last week before labour. The pregnancy can induce or worsen hypertension; the increase in systolic blood pressure with 30 mmHg and/or the diastolic blood pressure with 15 mmHg represents a risk factor in preeclampsia. The prediction of preeclampsia has a prognostic of over 75% if the data is correlated with the pulsatility index obtained by uterine artery Doppler procedure and is also correlated with the cranio-caudal length of the fetus.
