What is Preeclampsia?

Preeclampsia is an illness, which only occurs in pregnancy. Indeed, it is the most common serious medical disorder of human pregnancy. It is sometimes referred to as Preeclamptic toxaemia (abbreviated to PET), and many years ago it was also known as “kidney fits”. Preeclampsia can affect both the mother and her unborn baby. It usually arises during the second half of pregnancy, and can even occur some days after delivery.
