Hypertension Management in Pregnancy and Postpartum

The authors examine the management of hypertensive disorders during pregnancy and the postpartum period, highlighting the critical role of nephrologists in identifying and addressing renal complications that may arise. They aim to underscore the importance of postpartum care as a vital opportunity to initiate interventions that can prevent long-term cardiovascular and renal issues in women affected by these conditions. The review discusses the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management strategies for hypertensive disorders throughout the peripartum continuum.
