Levels of blood pressure in adolescents with preeclampsia and eclampsia: cases and controls study. It is unknown whether the blood pressure levels used for the diagnosis of preeclampsia have the same impact in adolescents as in older women, however for the diagnosis of preeclampsia and severe hypertension the same criteria of hypertension are used regardless of age maternal. It is necessary to do research to determine the values of blood pressure with which adolescents convulse and also to validate if slight increases in baseline blood pressure in adolescents are associated with prediction of preeclampsia and eclampsia. Unfortunately, 85% of teenage pregnancies occur in non-industrialized countries such as those in Latin America, and it is estimated that 25% of maternal deaths occur in adolescents Cases: patients with pregnancy that starts before the age of 19 that develops preeclampsia (mild), severe preeclampsia, gestational hypertension and eclampsia, that is 24 and more weeks pregnant with prenatal control started before 20 weeks of pregnancy. Controls are patients with the same criteria but WITHOUT hypertension during this pregnancy. The statistical analyzes are based on comparing blood pressure levels between the two groups, in addition blood pressure levels like 30/15 on the systolic and diastolic basal levels will be created and compared between the two groups, especially when it is not possible to have 140 / 90 mm Hg.
