Understanding Clampia: A Response to a Difficult Situation

Question
my close friend just died after a ceasarian to remove the baby who survived. prior to this she had high blood pressure and swollen feet. she was admitted into the hospital about a week to her due date, a few days later she started having breathing problems and chocking. the first attack was controlled, then she had the 2nd attack, then the doctors took her to the theatre for the ceasarian. she never came back.later i heard the nurse say she had clampsia. can i know more about it?

Answer
Eclampsia is a condition where the patient is having seizures and can lead to the demise of the patient and the baby.. The condition of "preeclampsia" will lead to eclampsia Preeclamsia is a disease with high blood pressure, proteinuria ( protein in the urine) and edema (swelling). Severe preeclampsia can have hemolysis,low platelets, elevated liver function studies, along with high blood pressure, proteinuria, and edema. They should have admitted her  earlier and deliver her when she got there. I do not know what her her condition on admission to the hospital. I would speak to her obstetrician, if  you want more information
