Preeclampsia is defined as the onset of hypertension and proteinuria after the 20th week of pregnancy. It is a serious condition that can progress to more severe outcomes like eclampsia or HELLP syndrome if not promptly recognized and managed. Proteinuria, which is a significant amount of protein in the urine, along with high blood pressure, are key markers for diagnosing this condition.
