Summary
Preeclampsia/hellp syndrome is a serious complication of pregnancy. Perinatal morbidity and mortality is high as well as the direct maternal morbidity and mortality. In recent years more evidence has accumulated that the maternal psychosocial problems have been underestimated. Next to this there appears to be a large amount of evidence that women with a history of this syndrome are more prone to cardiovascular diseases. Counseling on lifestyle and regular checks on risk factors for cardiovascular disease is indicated.
Samenvatting
Pre-eclampsie/hellp-syndroom is een ernstige complicatie van de zwangerschap. Perinatale morbiditeit en mortaliteit is aanzienlijk, evenals de directe moederlijke morbiditeit en mortaliteit. De laatste jaren wordt ook steeds duidelijker dat de psychosociale problemen bij de moeder onderschat zijn. Daarnaast wordt steeds duidelijker dat vrouwen met dit ziektebeeld in de voorgeschiedenis een groter risico op hart- en vaatziekten lopen. Adviezen over leefstijl en controle op risicofactoren voor deze aandoeningen zijn zeker geïndiceerd.
