Hannah is 32 weeks EGA and comes to you for her routine prenatal appointment. Her BP is 156/96 and her urine has 2+ protein. She complains of having a headache that will not go away and just not feeling “right.”
What will you include in your differential diagnoses and what test(s) will you order to ascertain the correct diagnosis?
Explain the differences (timing, presence of proteinuria, presence of seizures, BP parameters) between preeclampsia, eclampsia, gestational hypertension, chronic hypertension, and preeclampsia superimposed on chronic hypertension.
