Online publish date: 2011/03/08
Hypertension is one of the most common pathology in pregnancy and factors of maternal mortality in developed countries, as well as the
source of many complications in children. Despite a significant progress in knowledge of etiopathology and treatment of high blood pressure
during pregnancy the only causal treatment of preeclampsia is by induction of the labour of a child and placenta. Knowledge and
experience of medical staff is of importance to achieve intended aims in treatment and care of hypertensive pregnant women; however,
patient’s cooperation and an aware approach towards treatment is also essential.
