Tudo Sobre Hipertensão Gestacional

I'll provide you with a structured version of the text: **What is Gestational Hypertension?** Gestational hypertension (also known as pregnancy-induced hypertension) is high blood pressure that develops during pregnancy. It can lead to complications for both the mother and the baby. **Symptoms of Gestational Hypertension:** Common symptoms of gestational hypertension include: * Increased blood pressure * Absence or presence of protein in the urine * Edema (swelling) * Sudden weight gain * Visual changes such as blurred or double vision * Nausea, 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. 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:** Specific treatment will be determined by your doctor based on: * Your pregnancy, overall health, and medical history * Extent of the disease * Your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies * Expectations for the course of the disease * Your opinion or preference 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 **Prevention of Gestational Hypertension:** Early identification of women at risk for gestational hypertension may help prevent some complications of the disease. Education about the warning symptoms is also important because early recognition may help women receive treatment and prevent worsening of the disease.
