Q

mild vs severe preeclampsia

A
  1. hypertension: above 140/90 in mild, 160/110 in severe
  2. proteinuria: dipstick 1+ to 2+ (or above 300 mg/1d) in mild, 3+ or abouve 5 grams in severe
  3. edema: hands feet and face in mild, genaralized in severe
  4. only severe affects mental status, vision and liver function

Q

mild preeclampsia treatment

A

if term –> induce delivery
preterm –> betamethasone (lung maturation) and magnesium sulfate (seizure prophyaxis)
(only delivery is definitive treatment)

Q

eclampsia - definition

A

tonic-clonic seizure occuring in patients with history of preeclampsia (preeclampsia + seizures)

19
Q

eclampsia - treatment

A
  • first stabilize the mother, then deliver the baby

- seizure control should done with magnesim sulfate and BP with hydralazine

20
Q

HELLP syndrome?

A
  1. Hemolysis
  2. elevated liver enzymes
  3. low platelets
21
Q

HELLP syndrome - treatment

A

sam as eclampsia

  • first stabilize the mother, then deliver the baby
  • seizure control should done with magnesim sulfate and BP with hydralazine
22
Q

preeclampsia with severe features - when to deliver

A

34 week

23
Q

HELLP - when to deliver

A

34 or more weeks

or at any gestation age with abnormal fetal testing or severe or worsening maternal status

24
Q

HELLP syndrome - abdominal pain?

A

yes due to liver swelling with distension of the hepatic (Glisson’s capsule)

25
Q

perforated peptic ulcer vs HELLP

A

ulcer has peritonitis and maybe hypotension

26
Q

pregestational diabetes - definition

A

the woman had DM (1 or 2) before she became pregnant

27
Q

pregestational diabetes - complications in mother

A
  1. increased risk for preeclampsia (4 times)
  2. increased risk for spontaneous abortion (2 times)
  3. increased rate of infection
  4. increased pospartum hemorrhage
  5. preterm labot
28
Q

pregestational diabetes - complications in fetal

A
  1. increased risk for congenital anomalies (heart + neural tube defects
  2. macrosomia (which can cause shoulder dystocia)
  3. preterm labor
29
Q

pregestational diabetes - evaluation

A
  1. ECG 2. 24 h urine for baseline renal function (Creatinine clearance, protein) 3. HbA1C
  2. Opthalmologic exam for baseline eye function and assessing the condition of the retina
30
Q

Gestational diabetes?

A

high blood sugar that develops during pregnancy and usually disappears after giving birth

31
Q

Gestational diabetes - complications

A
  1. preterm birth
  2. fetal macrosomia (causes birth injuries)
  3. neonatal hypoglycemia
  4. increased risk (4-10) for mother to develop DM2 after pregnancy
32
Q

Gestational diabetes - evaluation

A
  • routinely screened for between 24-28 wks (GA)
  • glucose load test 1st
  • if it is under 140 there is no gestation diabetes
  • if glucose load test is above 140, then glucose tolerance test is done
  • if 2 up to 4 measurements are abnormal, then is (+)
33
Q

glucose load test

A

nonfasting ingestion of 50 g glucose with a measurement of serum glucose 1h later (lower or higher than 140 mg/dL)

34
Q

glucose tolerance test

A

ingestion of 100 g glucose after fast and fasting blood is taken. Glucose is then measured 3 times at 1, 2 and 3 hours

35
Q

gestational diabetes - treatment

A
  • diabetic diet and exercise (walking) are 1st line (DO NOT TELL THEM TO LOSE WEIGHT)
  • if fails: NPH before bed and aspart before meals
  • if if diet fails and refuse insulin: metformin + glyburide (safe + effective)
  • If DM2: insulin
36
Q

SLE nephritis in pregnancy - clinical manifestations

A
  1. edema
  2. malar rash
  3. arthritis
  4. hematuria
37
Q

SLE nephritis in pregnancy - labs

A
  1. nephritic range of proteinuria
  2. urinalysis with RBC WBC casts
  3. low complement levels
    4 high ANA
38
Q

SLE nephritis in pregnancy - diagnosis

A

renal biopsy

39
Q

SLE nephritis in pregnancy - obstetric complications

A
  1. preterm 2. cesarean
  2. preececlampsis
  3. fetal growth restriction
  4. fetal demise
40
Q

RF of eclampsia

A
  1. preeclampsia
  2. increased maternal age
  3. DM
  4. nulliparity
41
Q

seizures not controlled by MgSO4 - next step

A

phenytoin or diazepam

42
Q

treatment of hypertensive emergency (and definition)

A

definition: more than 160/110 for more than 15 mins
hydralazine (IV) or nifedipine (ORAL –> non if vomiting) or labetolol (be careful with labetolol because it slows the HR
- methyldopa only for chronic use

43
Q

gestation DM - treatment

A

dietary modification –> if fails –> insulin / metformin

44
Q

DM when to screen in pregnancy

A

all in 24-28 weeks –> if RF (obesity, previous genstation DM, previous macrosomic infnat) –> ealry i pregnancy and rescreeened at 24-28 weeks
