I can provide a summary of the text in a clear and concise format.
**Gestational Hypertension: A Pregnancy Complication**
Gestational hypertension, also known as pregnancy-induced high blood pressure, is a condition that occurs during pregnancy. It is characterized by high blood pressure and often accompanied by other symptoms such as protein in the urine, swelling, and weight gain.
**Symptoms of Gestational Hypertension**
The most common symptoms of gestational hypertension include:
* Increased blood pressure
* Protein in the urine
* Edema (swelling)
* Sudden weight gain
* Visual changes such as blurred or double vision
* Nausea and vomiting
* Right-sided upper abdominal pain or pain around the stomach
* Urinating small amounts
* Changes in liver or kidney function tests
**Diagnosis of Gestational Hypertension**
Diagnosis is often based on an increase in blood pressure levels, but other symptoms may help establish gestational hypertension as the diagnosis. Tests for gestational hypertension may include:
* Blood pressure measurement
* Urine testing to rule out preeclampsia
* Assessment of edema
* Frequent weight measurements
* Liver and kidney function tests to rule out preeclampsia
* Blood clotting tests to rule out preeclampsia
**Treatment for Gestational Hypertension**
The goal of treatment is to prevent the condition from becoming worse and to prevent it from causing other complications. Treatment may include:
* Bedrest, either at home or in the hospital
* Hospitalization (as specialized personnel and equipment may be necessary)
* Magnesium sulfate (or other antihypertensive medications for gestational hypertension if blood pressure readings are in the severe range)
* Fetal monitoring to check the health of the fetus
* Laboratory testing of urine and blood to monitor changes
**Prevention of Gestational Hypertension**
Early identification of women at risk for gestational hypertension may help prevent some complications of the disease. Education about warning symptoms is also important, as early recognition may help women receive treatment and prevent worsening of the disease.
