The tendency to develop preeclampsia appears to run in families. The daughters and sisters of women who have had preeclampsia are more likely to develop the condition.
Eclampsia occurs in about 1 out of every 200 women with preeclampsia.
Dogs will develop diabetes more often then cats. As with humans getting diabetes all depends on predisposing factors such as obesity, hereditary factors and illness.
African-American women have higher rates of preeclampsia than do Caucasian women.
There are arguably a pair of primary predisposing factors for gallstones. Heredity or genetics is one, and the body metabolic "profile" may or may not lend an individual to develop gallstones. Weight is another factor to consider, and heavier people are more likely to get gallstones than slimmer people. Between the two of these factors, most of those who present with gallstones will have a family history of them and be overweight. To a much lesser degree, diet may play a role.
Most importantly, it is clear that careful monitoring during pregnancy is necessary to diagnose preeclampsia early.
