title: [Hypertension in pregnancy].
abstract: Hypertension in pregnancy Hypertension in pregnancy, whether chronic or recently diagnosed, is always a matter of concern for the general practitioner or the obstetrician. Even if this situation often evolves favorably, and although a "wait and see" attitude may be preferred to an aggressive one in such cases, one should also be aware of how dramatic the outcome may also be. As a matter of fact, what is considered as one of the most frequent complications of pregnancy can run out of control, a possibility which shouldn't be dismissed. In this article, we shall discuss the various strategies for managing this disorder.
