Eclampsia occurs in about 1 out of every 200 women with preeclampsia.

the difference is that in PRE ECLAMPSIA there is PROTEINURIA and Eclampsia there is no proteinuria!

Complications of pregnancy. In preeclampsia, the woman has dangerously high blood pressure, swelling, and protein in the urine. If allowed to progress, this syndrome will lead to eclampsia.
