New paternity (first pregnancy with a new partner)

Prolonged interval between pregnancies
Diabetes and gestational diabetes
Chronic high blood pressure (prior to pregnancy or pregnancy induced)
Migraine headaches
Kidney disease
Rheumatoid Arthritis or lupus
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.
The biggest predisposing factor is arteriosclerosis. Atrial fibrillation is another.

I had preeclampsia toximia and was told to wait at least 5 yrs before I got pregnant again as I could develop the same again
Eclampsia occurs in about 1 out of every 200 women with preeclampsia.
African-American women have higher rates of preeclampsia than do Caucasian women.
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.
Most importantly, it is clear that careful monitoring during pregnancy is necessary to diagnose preeclampsia early.
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.
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.)
