The clinical spectrum of preeclampsia

Am J Kidney Dis. 1987 Apr;9(4):312-6. doi: 10.1016/s0272-6386(87)80128-2.

Abstract

Though classically a disease of the near term nullipara, the chameleonlike presentation of preeclampsia makes the diagnosis at times difficult and in most circumstances presumptive. A high index of suspicion is important. Early and frequent prenatal examinations coupled with laboratory parameters should reduce diagnostic error.
