Abstract

Hypertensive disorders in pregnancy remain a major cause of maternal, fetal and neonatal morbidity and mortality not only in developing but also in developed countries. Hypertension in pregnancy can be due to one of several distinct disorders, including gestational hypertension, preexisting chronic hypertension, preeclampsia-eclampsia, preeclampsia superimposed upon chronic hypertension.

Abstract

Gebelikte hipertansif hastalıklar sadece gelişmiş ülkelerde değil aynı zamanda gelişmekte olan ülkelerde de maternal, fetal ve neonatal mortalite ve morbiditenin önde gelen nedenidir. Gebelikte hipertansiyon gestasyonel hipertansiyon, kronik hipertansiyon, preeklampsi-eklampsi, kronik hipertansiyon üzerine eklenmiş preeklampsi gibi hastalıklardan biri nedeniyle oluşabilmektedir
