What is p/c ratio
RUQ pain, and pain, and nausea and vomiting are signs that this organ system is being affected by GHTN
What is the Hepatic system
This pregnancy and birth complication happens when blood pressure raises and puts stress on blood vessels that connect the placenta to the uterus and blood pools and forces the placental from the wall of the uterus prematurely which puts baby at risk
