Abstract
The hypertensive diseases of pregnancy encompass chronic hypertension, with and without pre-eclampsia, and many other types of blood pressure elevation that can occur before, during and after pregnancy. It is important to carry out ongoing risk assessment for pre-eclampsia at antenatal visits through the identification of elevations in blood pressure or new onset proteinuria before symptoms appear. Placental function testing can also be used for risk assessment and diagnosis.
