| Abstrakt: | Preeclampsia is a life-threatening illness during pregnancy. The main signs of preeclampsia are high blood pressure and proteinuria. Most cases of preeclampsia occur in the third trimester after 32 weeks and affect nulliparous women. Preeclampsia can lead to many serious complications, including the death of both the mother and fetus.
