Preeclampsia is a condition and complication of human pregnancy that represents a serious danger to the woman and her
fetus. Its characterization consists of a recent onset of arterial hypertension, or the worsening of a pre-existing one, plus a
condition of proteinuria after the first 20 weeks of gestation. The objective of this study is to provide updated knowledge in
relation to preeclampsia, its complications and prevention, since it still represents an important hypertensive disorder that
can expose a pregnant woman and the fetus to serious risks. Because of this, it was decided to carry out a bibliographic
design study and a review methodology. Results include: definitions of preeclampsia, causes, risk factors, complications,
and prevention. It is concluded that preeclampsia represents a specific disease of human pregnancy, but of unknown
etiology, and can be classified as mild or severe. It basically consists of a recent-onset HT or the aggravation of a pre-ex
-
isting HT during pregnancy, which, together with proteinuria, manifests itself after 20 weeks of gestation. However, PE
can also evolve after delivery. There are several complications associated with PE, but most writers agree that among the
most representative are: restriction (delay) of fetal growth; premature birth, placental abruption, HELLP syndrome, seizures
(Eclampsia), damage to other organs, cardiovascular disease, bleeding problems, liver rupture, LBW, and, less often,
death. There is no sure way to prevent the P. Even so, among the experts, the use of aspirin (Acetylsalicylic Acid - ASA) in
low doses that can range between 60 and 150 mg per day is shared as preventive criteria; as well as the daily intake of a
calcium supplement, if its values are low. |
