1.0. INTRODUCTION

OVERVIEW OR BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Pre-eclampsia is defined as hypertension accompanied by proteinuria, usually occurs during the second half of pregnancy and causes complications in 20-80% of pregnancies. It is a hypertensive disorder occurring usually often 20 weeks of gestation. Pre-eclampsia and eclampsia are not distinct disorder but the manifestation of spectrum of clinical symptoms of the same condition. In pre-eclmpsia, hypertension and protein urea are present and when convulsion occurs this is eclampsia (W.H.O 2005).

Pre-eclampsia is a condition that occurs generally in the second half of pregnancy. Pre-eclampsia is caused by high blood pressure accompanied with rapidly to severe pre-eclampsia with increased blood pressure and protein in urine. In a patient not previously hypertensive or protein in uric it may progress rapidly to severe pre-eclampsia with increased blood pressure and protein urea. When severe pre-eclampsia (S-P-E) is left un-treated. It can progress into the more serious and life threatening condition of eclampsia. Pre-eclampsia can occur before, during or after childbirth. Over half a million die each year from pregnancy related causes and 99% of these deaths occur in low and middle income countries (World Health Organization, Health Report 2005).
