Study Notes

Definitions of Hypertension in Pregnancy

Pre-existing (chronic) hypertension: A condition where high blood pressure is present before pregnancy or diagnosed before 20 weeks of gestation.
Pregnancy Induced Hypertension (PIH): Hypertension that develops during pregnancy, typically after 20 weeks of gestation, without accompanying proteinuria.

Classification of Severe Preeclampsia

Severe Preeclampsia is characterized by:
- Systolic blood pressure of 160 mm Hg or higher and/or diastolic blood pressure of 110 mm Hg or higher.
- Presence of proteinuria exceeding 5 grams in 24 hours.
- Symptoms such as severe headache, visual disturbances, or upper abdominal pain.

Incidence of Hypertension in Pregnancy

Hypertension affects approximately 6% to 8% of pregnant women, with variations based on demographics and health factors.

Maternal and Prenatal Mortality and Morbidity

Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy remain one of the leading causes of maternal and prenatal mortality and morbidity worldwide.
