Patient's question:
Is it dangerous to have preeclampsia in the late stage of pregnancy (90/140)? What does the presence of proteinuria (++) indicate? How is it treated?We have been very careful about our diet, trying to eat as little salty food as possible.
No adverse symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, or blurred vision have ever occurred.
There is only very mild swelling in the ankles.
Doctor's answer:
Hypertensive disorder of pregnancy is a disease specific to pregnancy, with main clinical manifestations including headache, vision changes (such as blurred vision, nausea, and upper abdominal discomfort), proteinuria in urine tests, spasm of small arteries in the retina, retinal edema, and bleeding. Calcium supplementation can help prevent hypertensive disorder of pregnancy. Treatment requires ensuring adequate sleep and lying on the left side. Sedation, oxygen therapy, and blood pressure reduction are also part of the treatment. Hypertensive disorder of pregnancy poses certain risks to both the mother and the fetus. It is recommended to moderately limit fluid and salt intake. Regular check-ups should be paid attention to. Hospitalization may be necessary for treatment when needed.
