Eclampsia Eclampsia refers to seizures in pregnancy that are not related to a pre-existing brain condition.
Not pre-eclampsia
- Pre-eclampsia is a medical condition in which hypertension arises in pregnancy (pregnancy-induced hypertension) in association with significant amounts of protein in the urine.
- To differentiate Eclampsia from Pre-eclampsia: the pt must have had a seizure to have eclampsia.
- it refers to a set of symptoms rather than any causative factor, and there are many different causes for the condition. It appears likely that there are substances from the placenta that can cause endothelial dysfunction in the maternal blood vessels of susceptible women. While blood pressure elevation is the most visible sign of the disease, it involves generalized damage to the maternal endothelium, kidneys, and liver, with the release of vasoconstrictive factors being secondary to the original damage.
Multiple codes
It might not be necessary to have two codes for this, but we decided to leave them alone until ICD10 arrives.
