Health: Preeclampsia

Preeclampsia pre·e·clamp·si·a (prē'ĭ-klāmp'sē-ə) A pregnancy-related condition that includes elevated blood pressure. Specifically, it is the new onset of high blood pressure and proteinuria (protein in the urine) in a pregnant woman who is beyond 20 weeks gestation. This is an important distinction, since women who had high blood pressure before becoming pregnant may sometimes look like they have preeclampsia, but should be treated according to a different set of clinical guidelines.
