==Background==
#Preeclampsia and eclampsia are diagnosed after 20wks gestation and <4wk post-partum
*New-onset hypertensive disorder related to pregnancy, resulting in significant maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide
##May occur sooner w/ gestational trophoblastic disease
*Preeclampsia and eclampsia are diagnosed after 20wks gestation and <4wk post-partum
#Defined as SBP>140 or DBP>90 in previously normotensive pt AND proteinuria >0.3gm in 24h or persistent proteinuria > 1+ on dipstick
**May occur sooner with gestational trophoblastic disease
#Only 10% of cases occur prior to 34wk
**Only 10% of cases occur prior to 34wk
*Pathogenesis: Abnormalities in placental arterial vasculature, including spiral arteries, in early pregnancy can lead to relative hypoperfusion of placenta; subsequent release of growth factors lead to maternal endothelial dysfunction causing systemic hypertension


===Clinical Findings===

==ACOG Diagnostic Criteria==
*''In 2013, ACOG has decided to remove proteinuria from the definition of severity of preeclampsia but it is still part of the diagnosis''<ref>Hypertension in pregnancy: Report of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists' Task Force on Hypertension in Pregnancy. Obstet Gynecol 2013; 122:1122.</ref>
*See ACOG practice bulletin 222, Gestational Hypertension and Preeclampsia, for recommendations on diagnosis<ref>Gestational Hypertension and Preeclampsia: ACOG Practice Bulletin, Number 222. Obstetrics & Gynecology 135(6):p e237-e260, June 2020. | DOI:10.1097/AOG.0000000000003891</ref>
*'''Diagnosis is based on blood pressure and proteinuria, OR based on blood pressure and presence of end-organ dysfunction (severe features) without proteinuria
**Although most patients will have proteinuria, lack of it does not preclude diagnosis
**Presence of "severe features" (see below) signify end organ dysfunction 
*Preeclampsia superimposed upon chronic hypertension: Similar criteria to preeclampsia, with acutely worsening blood pressure superimposed upon baseline, along with proteinuria and/or end-organ dysfunction
 
===[[hypertension|Blood Pressure]]===
*Hypertension: Systolic ≥140 mmHg or diastolic ≥90 mmHg on 2 occasions at least 4 hours apart, after 20 weeks gestation with previously normal BPs
*Severe range hypertension: Systolic ≥160 mmHg or diastolic ≥110 mmHg acutely requiring emergent blood pressure decreases
 
===[[Proteinuria]]===
*Proteinuria ≥300mg in a 24-hour urine collection
*Spot (one-time) protein(mg/dL)/creatinine(mg/dL) ratio ≥0.3
*2+ on urine dipstick (not preferred; use if no quantitative measurement is unavailable)
 
===Severe Features===
*Systolic BP ≥160 or diastolic BP ≥110, 2 occasions, 4 hours apart, while on bed rest (unless antihypertension meds were started before this time)
*[[Thrombocytopenia]] platelets <100,000/mL
*Progressive renal insufficiency (creatinine >1.1mg/dL or doubling of creatinine concentration in absence of renal disease)
**Reduced urine output < 30 cc/hr may indicate severe disease
*Elevated [[Liver function tests]] (2x normal concentration), severe persistent [[RUQ pain|RUQ]]/[[epigastric pain]] unresponsive to medications and no alternative diagnosis
*[[Pulmonary edema]]
*New onset headache resistant to medications, or [[visual disturbance]] (scotomata, blurry vision, loss of vision)
*Note that massive proteinuria is not currently a criteria for severe feature
 
==Management==
===BP Control===
*For pregnant women with chronic hypertension, BP should be maintained between systolic 120-160mmHg and diastolic 80-105mmHg
*Either labetalol or hydralazine can be used for initial control.  Maximize the dose of each drug before adding on additional therapy.
===Urgent BP Control===
*[[Labetalol]]
**Option 1: Initial 10-20mgIV; then doses of 20-80mg IV q20-30min PRN to total of 300mg
**Option 2: Constant IV infusion of 1-2mg/min
*[[Hydralazine]]
**Option 1: 5mg IV or IM, then 5-10mg IV q20-40min PRN to total of 30mg
**Option 2: Constant infusion 0.5-10mg/hr
*[[Nifedipine]]
**Option 1: 10-20mg PO, repeat in 30 minutes PRN; then 10-20mg q 2-6 hours
===Oral Antihypertension===
These meds can be used safely to control hypertension of pregnancy
*[[Labetalol]]
**Option 1: 200-2400mg/d in two to three divided doses
*[[Nifedipine|Nifedipine ER]]
**Option 1: 30-120mg/d
*[[Methyldopa]]
**Option 1: 0.5-3 g/d in two to three divided doses
*Thiazide diuretics - used as second line agent
*ACE Inhibitor/ARB - CONTRAINDICATED IN PREGNANCY DUE TO TERATOGENICITY
 
===Delivery Timing===
*Preeclampsia without severe features, delivery at 37 weeks
*Preeclampsia with severe features
**Before fetal viability, delivery after maternal stabilization, expectant management is not recommended
**Viable fetus at 33 6/7 weeks or less may delay delivery for 48 hours of corticosteroids if maternal and fetal conditions remain stable with any of the following:
***PPROM
***Labor
***Low platelet count <100,000mL
***Persistent abnormal LFT(2x normal concentration)
***IUGR<5%
***Severe oligohydramnios (AFI<5cm)
***Reversed end diastolic flow on umbilical artery Doppler studies
***New onset renal dysfunction or increasing renal dysfunction.
*Do not delay delivery after initial maternal stabilization regardless of gestational age for women with PreE with severe features complicated by any of the following:
**Uncontrollable severe hypertension
**[[Eclampsia]]
**[[Pulmonary edema]]
**[[Placental abruption]]
**Disseminated intravascular coagulation
**Evidence of nonreassuring fetal status
**Intrapartum fetal demise
===Prevention===
*The USPSTF recommends the use of low-dose aspirin (81mg/d) as preventive medication after 12 weeks of gestation in women who are at high risk for preeclampsia. ([[Evidence Based Recommendation Levels| B recommendation]])<ref>http://annals.org/article.aspx?articleid=1902275</ref>
 
*Per ACOG Task Force: For women with prior preeclampsia that led to delivery before 34 weeks of gestation or occurring in more than one pregnancy, offer daily low-dose aspirin (81mg or less) late in the first trimester.


===Treatment===
==[[Seizure]] Prophylaxis==
#Only definitive tx is delivery
*[[Magnesium]]
##Mild preeclampsia - induction or C-section if > 37 wks GA, consider close monitoring if 34-37 wks
**Option 1: Load 4-6 grams 10% magnesium sulfate in 100ml solution IV over 20 minutes, then continuous infusion of Magnesium sulfate maintenance 1-2 grams/hour
##Severe Preeclampsia - induction or C-section independent of GA
**Option 2: Magnesium sulfate 10 grams of 50% solution IM (5 grams in each buttock) if no IV accessMagnesium sulfate on infusion pump
#Some cases of mild preeclampsia may be candidates for outpatient therapy
*Despite [[pregnancy risk drug|category D]] label, can be safely used for <48h to allow administration of betamethasone prior to preterm delivery
##close follow up and return precautions is key
*Contraindications: [[pulmonary edema]], [[renal failure]], [[myasthenia gravis]]
##Repeat lab tests 1-2x per week (platelet count, creatinine, AST)
*Observe for loss of reflexes, respiratory depression
#BP Control
##Lower to Sys 130-150, dia 80-100
###Labetalol
####Option 1: Initial 20mg; then doses of 20-80mg q10min to total of 300mg
####Option 2: Initial 20mg; then IV infusion of 1-2mg/min
###Hydralazine
####5mg IV over 1-2min; repeat bolus of 5-10mg q20min PRN to total of 30mg
#Prevent eclampsia
##Magnesium: Load 4-6g IV over 15min followed by 2-3g per hr
###Observe for loss of reflexes, respiratory depression


===Disposition===
==Disposition==
*Consult w/ OB/GYN regarding d/c versus admission
*Consult with OB/GYN regarding discharge versus admission
**Some cases of mild preeclampsia may be candidates for outpatient therapy
***Close follow up and return precautions is key
***Repeat lab tests 1-2x per week (platelet count, creatinine, AST)
