Pre-eclampsia is associated with significant morbidity and mortality for mother and baby, but it resolves completely post partum. Despite a steady reduction in maternal mortality from the disorder in more developed countries, it remains one of the most common reasons for a woman to die during pregnancy. The disorder starts with a placental trigger followed by a maternal systemic response. Because both this systemic response and the woman's reaction to it are inconsistent, the clinical presentation varies in time and substance, with many different organ systems affected. With the increasing understanding of the disease process, there have been advances in management, such as antihypertensive therapy, magnesium sulphate, and fluid restriction.
