Preeclampsia can also be diagnosed in the absence of proteinuria, if one or more systemic manifestations are present (see Table 14-1).1Preeclampsia is said to have severe features if blood pressure is high, i.e., SBP ≥160 mm Hg or DBP ≥110 mm Hg, or with the presence of one or more systemic manifestations (see below).1Early onset (<34 weeks gestational age) preeclampsia typically carries greater risk of maternal/fetal complications (see Table 14-2).Occurrence of seizures not attributable to any other cause = eclampsia (seizure may be a presenting sign).
