Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-related condition characterized by high blood pressure and signs of damage to organs, most commonly the liver and kidneys, usually occurring after 20 weeks of gestation. It can present with protein in the urine, swelling (especially in the hands and face), headaches, visual disturbances, and abdominal pain. While some women have only mild symptoms, severe cases can lead to serious complications for both mother and baby, including seizures (eclampsia), organ failure, or preterm birth. The exact cause is not fully understood but is thought to involve abnormal placental development and blood vessel dysfunction. Management includes close monitoring, blood pressure control, and delivery of the baby if the condition worsens.
