I would call this severe gestational hypertension. I can only comment on this because it is the only case I know of mine that got reviewed that said I didn't meet the standard of care. She was 35+5 wks with similar BP, no proteinuria on dipstick and NO preeclamptic symptoms. I sent her home for a 24 hr collection (should have admitted her or delivered her) and the morning she was to come back to drop off the urine, she came into the ER seizing. She and baby did fine, but it was a clear miss on my part.

>From all I can gather on severe gestational hypertension, it should be
treated just like severe preeclampsia.

Sorry Ron to respectfully disagree. She does not have preeclampsia. I would appreciate support from others. Steve has agree and I think Garry also.

This is PIH NOT preeclampsia. She probably will develop it in the next two weeks but at this point in time by all definitions it is NOT preeclampsia.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
