Although there is no single cause of preeclampsia, those with a history of high blood pressure, diabetes, kidney disorder, or obesity are at a higher risk of developing it.
Often symptoms of this condition go unnoticed because those symptoms, such as high blood pressure and high protein in urine, are “silent symptoms”.
