<unk>  is primarily defined as gestational hypertension with proteinuria 300 mg or more over a 24-hour<unk> riod. The pathophysiologic abnormalities of<unk>  include placental ischemia, generalized vasospasm, abnormal hemostasis with activation of the coagulation system, vascular endothelial dysfunction, abnormal nitric oxide and lipid metabolism, leukocyte activation and changes in various cytokines as well as in insulin resistance. It is important to identify those with high risk of developing<unk>  during their pregnancy for better management. Maternal and fetal outcomes in<unk>  depend on one or more of these factors: gestational age at onset of<unk>  as well as at time of delivery, the severity of the disease process, the presence of multifetal gestation, and the presence of other preexisting medical conditions such as diabetes, renal disease, or thrombophilias. It is associated with an increased risk of placental abruption, preterm birth, fetal intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), acute renal failure, cerebrovascular and cardiovascular complications, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and maternal death. Therefore, it is necessary to diagnose<unk>  early.
