Discuss the cause and effects of preeclampsia.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary. Preeclampsia (also called toxemia) is a life-threatening disease characterized by high blood pressure that may afflict women late in the second or early in the third trimester. Women with toxemia often have premature or undersized babies. Toxemia also causes some 15% to 20% of pregnancy-related maternal deaths. Preeclampsia appears to be linked to malnutrition, but the causes are unclear. Women who do not receive prenatal care are much more likely to die from preeclampsia than those who do receive prenatal care.
