Inaccurate info

Citation for, "defined as the development of new arterial hypertension in a pregnant woman after 20 weeks gestation."? This is inaccurate. Chronic hypertension during pregnancy is considered to be covered under the category of gestational hypertension. The "new" should be dropped. Source: Obstectrics resident lectures, Tampa General Hospital —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.65.91.40 (talk) 18:01, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure how much the article has changed in the last year, but in gestational hypertension it is essential for the increased blood pressure to be new. If blood pressure is high before conception and continues high, this is chronic hypertension, and not necessarily related to the pregnancy. I think the way the page is currently written is adequate. justin.kirkham (talk) 13:41, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The effects that pregnancy induced hypertension has on the fetus should also be discussed. This article outlines the effects on the mother and fetus. ^[1] Sidhu.24 (talk) 20:27, 30 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Any sudden symptoms could also be a good factor of discussion. ^[2] Sidhu.24 (talk) 00:19, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Definitions

The definition of preeclampsia given here was slightly outdated and unclear. I brought it up to date, by removing edema as a necessary criteria, and I also clarified the proteinuria criteria. justin.kirkham (talk) 13:45, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

When talking about treatment, there should be some more information made available to readers. A patient can ask their doctor on what precautions to take. Here is a commendable article explaining Gestational hypertension and some treatment options: ^[1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sidhu.24 (talk • contribs) 23:58, 30 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Risk factor: Having donated a kidney

Under risk factors, "Having donated a kidney" is mentioned. Wouldn't it be better to mention having one kidney, or is there something that is unique to the procedure that later increases risk? Enigma55 (talk) 19:00, 30 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
