Preeclampsia is a syndrome of high blood pressure, usually starting after the 20th week of pregnancy. It is one of the leading causes of pregnancy-related morbidity and mortality in pregnant women and newborns worldwide.

Early diagnosis of preeclampsia is extremely important to help doctors manage, care for and intervene accurately and promptly, bringing the best benefits to both mother and baby.

Pregnancy can cause a number of health problems, and most of these changes will disappear after the baby is born. However, some conditions become more serious, including preeclampsia. Postpartum preeclampsia can lead to seizures and other complications in the mother.
