Preeclampsia and how it complicates pregnancy

[WCCO-TV News, April 30, 2025] Preeclampsia is a pregnancy complication that can cause issues such as liver or kidney failure, seizures or even death for the mother and child. Indy Lane, MD, MBA, FACOG, the vice-president of Women’s Health at Allina Health and leader of The Mother Baby Center, says preeclampsia usually develops after 20 weeks of pregnancy.

High blood pressure or protein in the urine are classics signs of the complication.
Dr. Lane says more subtle symptoms could hinder early detection.

Clinicians at Minnesota Perinatal Physicians and The Mother Baby Center, a partnership between Allina Health and Children's Minnesota, are ready to pinpoint those symptoms and help expectant mothers manage the effects of preeclampsia.
