Pre-eclampsia is a pregnancy-related hypertensive disorder characterised by new-onset hypertension and proteinuria after 20 weeks of gestation. It is clinically significant as it can lead to severe complications for both mother and fetus, including eclampsia, placental abruption, and fetal growth restriction. A key association is with maternal obesity, which increases the risk of developing this condition and its associated adverse outcomes.
