Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinico-neuro-radiological entity may develop in patients with pre-eclampsia, eclampsia or delayed postpartum eclampsia, immunological conditions and with certain anti-neoplastic agents. This case report describes about a patient with pregnancy induced hypertension who developed PRES postnatally. Early recognition and treatment prevented ...

Background The association of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) and severe preeclampsia/eclampsia has been established but the frequency is uncertain. Objectives To determine PRES in preeclampsia or eclampsia. Methods We searched published articles PubMed, Cochrane library, Embase, CINAHL from 1990 to 2020. included that reported on six more cases with eclampsia who underwent ...

Introduction: Metabolic syndrome shown to be associated with increased infl ammatory state and pre-eclampsia in pregnant women in the western population. Association between metabolic syndrome and its components with pre-eclampsia is yet to be determined in Indian population. Objective: The aim was to investigate the association between metabolic syndrome and its components with pre-eclampsia. ...

Pre-eclampsia and eclampsia are leading causes of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. The exact prevalence, however, is unknown. The majority of pre-eclampsia related deaths in LMIC occur in the community and therefore, interventions must be focused at this level. There are a number of unique challenges facing LMIC but the principles of care for women with pre-eclampsia re...

This is the Executive Summary of updated guidelines developed by the Society of Obstetric Medicine of Australia and New Zealand for the management of hypertensive diseases of pregnancy. They address a number of challenging areas including the definition of severe hypertension, the use of automated blood pressure monitors, the definition of non-proteinuric pre-eclampsia and measuring proteinuria...

BACKGROUND Women with severe pre-eclampsia/eclampsia are at risk of developing chronic hypertension in future. Chronic hypertension may manifest initially as persistent hypertension at the end of the puerperium. The objective was to determine the incidence and maternal biochemical, hematological and socio-demographic risk factors for persistent hypertension in patients with pre-eclampsia/eclamp...

Pre-eclampsia and eclampsia are well-known risk factors of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome. Early recognition and proper treatment result in complete reversibility of this disease. Concealed pregnancy obstacles a safe prenatal care and a safe planned delivery, because of latency in the diagnosis. We present a case of unrecognized posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome, eclamp...

Serum calcium, urea and uric acid levels were determined in 100 normal pregnant women and 50 patients with pre-eclampsia. Serum calcium levels were significantly lower and urea and uric acid levels higher in pre-eclampsia. Low levels of calcium were found as early as 28 weeks and can therefore be used for early diagnosis of pre-eclampsia.

OBJECTIVES Pre-eclampsia causes maternal mortality worldwide. Estrogen receptor alpha (ESR1) gene polymorphisms were responsible for cardiovascular diseases. This case control study was conducted to investigate whether 2 polymorphic genes of ESR1 are associated with pre-eclampsia among Saudi women in Madina city, Saudi Arabia. METHODS Blood samples from 97 pre-eclamptic and 94 healthy pregnan...
