Question

It preeclampsia more common when there is a sudden humidity change?

Answer 1

Follow advice: My best advice to you is to follow the advice of your obstetrician (who knows you best and is in the best position to time the delivery of your baby - which is the ultimate "cure" for preeclampsia).

Answer 2

PREECLAMPSIA : Be under the care of your OB . He will monitor the SX until you are safe to have your baby.

Answer 3

Pregnancy high BP: Preeclampsia (also called "toxemia") is a triad of findings (high blood pressure, swelling, and protein in the urine) usually seen in the third trimester of pregnancy. Typically seen in first pregnancies, younger pregnant women, multiple pregnancies, and other risk factors, pre-eclampsia can lead to serious complications. Treatment: bedrest or hospitalization. Cure: delivery.

Answer 4

See below: A hypertensive disorder in pregnancy assoc with elevated blood pressure, protein in the urine, abn liver tests, edema (swelling) sometimes. It is considered a high risk factor in pregnancy for both mother and fetus. Treatment is medicines early on or delivery if far enough along. Needs close follow up.

Answer 5

Very: You may be surprised to know that nutritional deficiency is a major cause, particularly magnesium. See your ob.

Answer 6

Very serious: Sometimes abnormal placentas begin to breakdown at 20wks, leading to exposure of mom to some of dad's placental genes and lead to an "allergic" reaction where the vessels spasm and platelets are drawn away (thrombocytopenia). The spasm causes high BP, HA, liver dysfunction, vision changes, and protein in the urine; leads to maternal seizure, decreased baby growth, and sometimes placental abruption

Answer 7

OB-Gyn MD: Look 4 ob-gyn md!

Answer 8

Preeclampsia : That is a good question, it is easier to tell you the treatment than the cause. The treatment is delivery of the fetus and magnesium for the mother. Also concerning is that women who have this are at increased risk of hypertension for the rest of their life.

Answer 9

Placental Problems: Sometimes abnormal placentas begin to breakdown at 20wks, leading to exposure of mom to some of dad's placental genes and lead to an "allergic" reaction where the vessels spasm and platelets are drawn away (thrombocytopenia). The spasm causes high BP, HA, liver dysfunction, vision changes, and protein in the urine; leads to maternal seizure, decreased baby growth, and sometimes placental abruption

Answer 10

Familial: The pathogenic mechanisms underlying pre-eclampsia remain to be elucidated; however, immune maladaptation, inadequate placental development and trophoblast invasion, placental ischaemia, oxidative stress and thrombosis are all thought to represent key factors in the development of disease. Furthermore, all of these components have genetic factors that may be involved in the pathogenic changes.
