Hypertensive Disorders in Pregnancy
Gestational hypertension is associated with signs of
Hypertension
Proteinuria
Edema
Gestational hypertension is previously known as / older term for pre-eclampsia
Toxemia
What HPN: BP = 140/90 mmhg or systole elevated 30 mmhg or diastole elevated 15 mmhg ; no edema and proteinuria
Gestational hypertension
This disease returns to normal after child birth
Gestational HPN
What HPN: BP = 140/90 taken on 2 occassions at least 6 hours apart
Mild Preeclampsia
Develop an elevated blood pressure 140/90 after 20 weeks of gestation but with no proteinuria or edema
Gestational Hypertension
A patient have proteinuria (1+ or 2+) and a blood pressure rise to 140/90 mmhg, taken on occasion 4 hours apart
Mild Preeclampsia / Preeclampsia without severe features
A patient with blood pressure rises to 160 mmhg systolic and 110 mmhg diastolic at least two occasions 4 hours apart AT BED REST
Severe Preeclampsia
A patient has marked proteinuria 3+ or 4+
Severe Preeclampsia
Puffiness in the face and hands
Extensive edema
