AB Multisystem  disease  attributable  to  endothelial  dysfunction.Preeclampsia  is  clinically  defined  by  new  onset  (after  20  weeks  of  gestation)  of  hypertension  (systolic  blood  pressure  [SBP]  ≥140  mm  Hg  or  diastolic  blood  pressure  [DBP]  ≥90  mm  Hg)  and  proteinuria.  Preeclampsia  can  also  be  diagnosed  in  the  absence  of  proteinuria,  if  one  or  more  systemic  manifestations  are  present  (see  Table  14-1).1Preeclampsia  is  said  to  have  severe  features  if  blood  pressure  is  high,  i.e.,  SBP  ≥160  mm  Hg  or  DBP  ≥110  mm  Hg,  or  with  the  presence  of  one  or  more  systemic  manifestations  (see  below).1Early  onset  (<34  weeks  gestational  age)  preeclampsia  typically  carries  greater  risk  of  maternal/fetal  complications  (see  Table  14-2).Occurrence  of  seizures  not  attributable  to  any  other  cause  =  eclampsia  (seizure  may  be  a  presenting  sign).
