title: Preeclampsia-eclampsia.
abstract: Preeclampsia and eclampsia are grave complications of pregnancy responsible for morbidity and mortality. National Eclampsia Registry of the FOGSI has helped in quantifying the magnanimity and also the clinical relevant pointers which can help in improving the health care delivery. Many complex pathogenic mechanisms are now implicated to be responsible for this disease rightfully called the GESTOSIS which means pregnancy going abnormal. Many preventive strategies have been suggested but only a few are scientifically proved to be useful. Early antenatal care, clinical risk assessment, biomarkers, close vigilance, calcium and nutritional supplementation are useful.
