Pregnancy-induced hypertension is a relatively dangerous disease because it has a significant impact on both the pregnant woman and the fetus. Firstly, it can cause the pregnant woman to have proteinuria, edema, and high blood pressure. If the blood pressure rises further, it may lead to cerebral hemorrhage, brain herniation, convulsions, etc. Additionally, if there is a lot of proteinuria, the whole body can become swollen, and as the protein is lost with the urine, the fetus's growth and development can be restricted, leading to reduced weight. Furthermore, the fetus may also experience hypoxia, changes in fetal heart rate, and intrauterine fetal demise.
