Preeclampsia can significantly impact the baby by restricting blood flow and nutrients due to high blood pressure and potential placental dysfunction. This can lead to intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), preterm birth, and low birth weight. Additionally, severe cases may increase the risk of placental abruption, where the placenta detaches from the uterus, posing further risks to both the mother and baby. Early diagnosis and management are crucial to mitigate these risks.
No. Preeclampsia is specifically PREGNANCY induced hypertension (or high blood pressure). Other symptoms that accompany the high blood pressure are proteinuria (protein in the urine) and swelling due to fluid shifts within the body. The only way to cure preeclampsia is by delivering the baby. So this is not a disorder that can affect men. Hope this helps!
While the exact cause of preeclampsia is unknown, there is evidence to suggest that genetics may play a role in predisposing women to the condition. Women with a family history of preeclampsia are at a higher risk of developing it themselves. However, there are also other factors that contribute to the development of preeclampsia, such as a woman's overall health and lifestyle.
Eclampsia occurs in about 1 out of every 200 women with preeclampsia.
African-American women have higher rates of preeclampsia than do Caucasian women.

Most importantly, it is clear that careful monitoring during pregnancy is necessary to diagnose preeclampsia early.
Risk for injury related to preeclampsia. A nursing diagnosis for preeclampsia isn't really possible since we nurses can't practice medicine. We'll be assessing for clonus, epigastric pain, headache, etc. (Which are signs of impending eclampsia.)
Placental abnormalities during pregnancy can lead to serious risks such as restricted fetal growth, preterm birth, and preeclampsia. These abnormalities can also affect the baby's oxygen and nutrient supply, leading to developmental issues or even stillbirth. It is important for healthcare providers to monitor and manage these conditions to ensure the health and safety of both the mother and baby.
Very careful, consistent monitoring allows quick decisions to be made, and improves the woman's prognosis. Still, the most common causes of death in pregnant women are related to high blood pressure.
