title: Hypertension in pregnancy.
abstract: This article reviews the hypertensive complications of pregnancy, focusing on the pathophysiology and management of pre-eclampsia. These are areas where data are sparse and authoritative disagreements loud. We advocate an intermediate approach where treatment regimens aim at a successful conclusion of the pregnancy, without residual pathology in the mother.
