PATHOLOGY AND PHYSIOLOGY
Pregnancy-Induced Hypertension
Preeclampsia
Sensitivity of maternal vasculature to pressure agents
Hypoperfusion of some organs Loss of plasma from the vascular tree
Placental Hypoperfusion
Vasospasm of multiple organs aggravates
Activation of coagulation Microthombi formation
Edema
Incomplete trophoblast Production of vasoactive agents Vasoconstriction
Eclampsia Hypertension
Renal Dysfunction
Pulmonary Dysfunction
Hepatic Dysfunction
Abnormal function of the endothelium
Cerebral Edema
Cerebral vascular resistance
Blood flow to the brain
Eclamptic seizure
