New hypertension (raised blood pressure) and proteinuria (abnormal amounts of protein in the urine) are its main features. Oedema (swelling) is an inconsistent part of the condition. As its name suggests pre-eclampsia may precede eclampsia, when epileptic-like convulsions occur. » Read more about pre-eclampsia on NHS Choices Stakeholders • Faculty of Public Health The stakeholder groups will be involved when the recommendation is next reviewed.
