In the management of preeclampsia/eclampsia, it would be useful at least at European level, to have clear protocols for early detection and approach of cases with hypertension, as well as to create an algorithm to identify the predisposition to hypertensive pregnancy pathology. The aim has been to identify the favorable factors and the evolution of the pregnancy in the 100 patients admitted to the obstetrics clinic between January 2014 and December 2018, aged between 15-44 years, who have been diagnosed with preeclampsia. In recent years, the management of pregnant women with preeclampsia has improved a lot due to a better understanding of the pathogenesis and a refinement of adequate pregnancy monitoring. Obesity has been shown to be a risk factor in preeclampsia. Several studies have identified preeclampsia as an inflammatory condition. A large number of inflammatory markers, such as C-reactive protein (PCR) and Interleukin 6 (IL-6), have been shown to be elevated in pregnant women with preeclampsia.
