Hypertensive disease occurs in approximately 12-22% of pregnancies, and it is directly
responsible for 17.6% of maternal deaths in the United States (1, 2). However, there is
confusion about the terminology and classification of these disorders. This bulletin will
provide guidelines for the diagnosis and management of hypertensive disorders unique to
pregnancy (ie, preeclampsia and eclampsia), as well as the various associated
complications. Chronic hypertension has been discussed elsewhere (3).
