Original Article The present study suggests that in preeclampsia there is an increase in the lipid peroxidation products and leads to a decrease in the plasma antioxidants except uric acid and changes in the lipid profile levels, contributing to the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. In this context, this study was undertaken to determine the changes in plasma levels of lipid peroxide, antioxidant l...

Introduction. Eclampsia is the combination of preeclampsia and seizures. Approximately one-half of all cases of eclampsia occur postpartum. Thereby late onset postpartum eclampsia is defined by its onset more than 48 hours after delivery. Summary of Case. We report a postpartum eclampsia occurring 8 weeks after delivery, which is the latest onset ever described. The course was complicated by an...

Preeclampsia is a hypertensive, multisystem disorder of pregnancy whose etiology remains unknown. Although management is evidence-based, preventative measures/screening tools are lacking, treatment remains symptomatic, and delivery remains the only cure. Past hypotheses/scientific contributions have influenced current understanding of preeclampsia pathophysiology and guided management strategie...

BackgroundThe majority of previous studies on severe preeclampsia, eclampsia, and hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelet count syndrome were hospital-based or included a relatively small number women. Large, population-based examining gestational age–specific incidence patterns risk factors for these pregnancy complications are lacking.ObjectiveThis study aimed to assess the rates synd...

OBJECTIVE(S) Pre-eclampsia is characterized by hypertension, dyslipidemia, and increased systemic inflammatory response and has been associated with an increased maternal risk of cardiovascular disease later in life. Endothelial dysfunction is thought to be a central pathogenic feature in pre-eclampsia on the basis of elevated adhesion molecules. The aim of this study was to determine the level...

BACKGROUND Preeclampsia is one of the leading causes of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality in the world, but its appearance is still unpredictable and its pathophysiology has not been entirely elucidated. Genetic studies have associated single nucleotide polymorphisms in genes encoding nitric oxide synthase and matrix metalloproteases with preeclampsia, but the results are largely in...

The cause of preeclampsia remains unknown and calcium and magnesium supplement are being suggested as means of prevention. The objective of this study was to assess magnesium and calcium in the plasma and cerebrospinal fluid of Nigerian women with preeclampsia and eclampsia. Setting was University of Benin Teaching Hospital, in Nigeria. It was a cross-sectional study comprising of eleven patien...

Hypertension in pregnancy complicates approximately 7-10% of pregnancies and remains a major cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality [1,2]. Severe pre-eclampsia/eclampsia (generalized convulsions with pre-eclampsia) which occurs in approximately 1-3 in 1000 women is thought to be a terminal progression of pre-eclampsia1 [1]. The maternal mortality rate for eclampsia is 2-3 cases...
