Gestational [pregnancy-induced] oedema and proteinuria without hypertension - what does this mean

Gestational oedema and proteinuria without hypertension is caused by an increase in the permeability of the capillaries in the glomeruli of the kidneys, leading to an abnormal amount of protein being excreted in the urine. this usually occurs during the third trimester of pregnancy, and is often accompanied by swelling in the face, hands, and feet. it is usually harmless and resolves after delivery.

What happens during the disease - gestational [pregnancy-induced] oedema and proteinuria without hypertension

Gestational oedema and proteinuria without hypertension is caused by a combination of hormonal and vascular changes that occur during pregnancy. hormones such as progesterone and vasopressin can cause a decrease in glomerular filtration rate, resulting in an increase in sodium and water retention. this leads to increased fluid in the interstitial space and increased plasma volume, which can cause oedema. the increased plasma volume can also cause an increase in protein loss in the urine, resulting in proteinuria. hypertension is not usually associated with this condition, as the increased plasma volume causes a decrease in systemic vascular resistance, leading to lower blood pressure.
