  Preeclampsia resolves after delivery. However, patients may still have an elevated BP postpartum. Liver function tests and platelet counts must be performed to document decreasing values prior to hospital discharge. In addition, one third of seizures occur in the postpartum period, most within 24 hours of delivery, and almost all within 48 hours. Therefore, magnesium sulfate seizure prophylaxis is continued for 24 hours postpartum. […] Rarely, a patient may have elevated liver enzymes, thrombocytopenia, and renal insufficiency more than 72 hours after delivery. In these cases, the possibility of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) or thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) must be considered.

  High blood pressure in the postpartum period is most commonly seen in women with antenatal hypertensive disorders but it can develop de novo in the postpartum timeframe. […] The diagnosis of postpartum preeclampsia should be considered in women with new-onset hypertension 48 hours to 6 weeks postpartum. […] New-onset postpartum preeclampsia is an understudied disease entity with few evidence-based guidelines to guide diagnosis and management. […] The cornerstones of treatment include the use of anti-hypertensive agents, magnesium and diuresis. […] Postpartum preeclampsia may be associated with a higher risk of maternal morbidity than preeclampsia with antepartum-onset, yet remains a significantly understudied disease process. […] Future research should focus on the pathophysiology and specific risk factors.

  Preeclampsia is associated with a substantially increased long-term risk for cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and renal disease. […] We aimed to assess current utilization of postpartum primary and specialized care and medication prescription behavior in women who experienced preeclampsia. […] Although specialized postpartum care was sought by more women after preeclampsia, the effect size indices revealed no considerable association between a history of preeclampsia and the utilization of specialized outpatient aftercare. […] Preeclampsia was associated with an increased risk to take any antihypertensive medication after delivery. […] Postpartum referral to specialized outpatient care and quarterly prescriptions of antihypertensives following preeclampsia failed to match the early and rapidly increased incidence and risk of hypertension.

  https://nursingcecentral.com/postpartum-preeclampsia/

  Postpartum preeclampsia is a condition that can affect women from the time after delivery and up to 6 weeks after. […] With postpartum preeclampsia, patients are now not seeing a health care provider regularly, delivery is not a solution, and access to care. […] When postpartum preeclampsia is not effectively managed and treated it can lead to seizures, strokes, organ damage, and even death. […] With little to no indications, it becomes crucial to continue to monitor, observe, and educate all patients throughout the postpartum phase. […] Educating on when to call the healthcare provider and when to go to the emergency room are important in obtaining prompt treatment of this condition. […] Patients are no longer pregnant, so when they obtain care, they become viewed as an adult patient versus an obstetrical patient.

• #77 Postpartum Care

  https://www.preeclampsia.org/postpartum-care

  The handoff from childbirth to a regular medical home must include transferring information about any pregnancy complications she experienced. Most women and even their healthcare providers are not aware that a history of severe preeclampsia, growth-restricted babies, and other pregnancy complications put them at higher risk for heart disease and stroke than other women without these complications. Your ongoing care should be managed through this lens. […] This postpartum care bundle suggests several items a healthcare provider should discuss with her patient while the woman is still pregnant and during the immediate postpartum period, planning for issues like breastfeeding, contraception, who will provide her medical care, and social support in the weeks following birth. […] Make sure women know when and where to report symptoms. It is important if she shows up to the emergency department with high blood pressure that they understand she has been recently pregnant. […] Postpartum care and patient education remain a key goal for the Preeclampsia Foundation. Many of our affected women complain about the lack of information sent home with them, leaving them vulnerable when symptoms arise that should drive them back to care, but instead are ignored.

  We identified five themes, each with 23 subthemes, that demonstrate how women with recent preeclampsia experience postpartum follow-up: (1) fear and uncertainty (a body out of balance and facing an uncertain future), (2) a conversation on lifestyle not really that difficult (preeclampsia as a gateway, a respectful approach, and a desire for more constructive feedback), (3) when your own health is not a priority (a new everyday life, out of focus, and lack of support), (4) motivation for lifestyle changes (an eye opener, lack of intrinsic motivation, and a helping hand), and (5) lack of structured and organized follow-up (there should be a proper system, a one-sided follow-up care, and individual variation in follow-up care). […] Findings from this study highlight the need for more systematic postpartum follow-up for women after a pregnancy complicated by preeclampsia.

  Despite existing guidelines for postpartum follow-up after PE, women in our study often found postpartum care to be inconsistent and unsystematic. […] It is recommended that lifestyle and CVD should be addressed as part of the postpartum follow-up, as PE is considered a manifestation of cardiovascular vulnerability. […] The lack of intrinsic motivation for lifestyle changes that the participants in our study described suggest that the use of counseling strategies such as motivational interviewing might be important to support individuals to implement healthy lifestyle changes. […] We therefore agree with other researchers who have suggested that lifestyle interventions postpartum should take a family-focused approach due to the crucial role of partner and family support for lifestyle changes.

  The other challenge with it is even if somebody shows up, gets readmitted postpartum to the hospital and they get a diagnosis listed on the medical record of postpartum preeclampsia, there’s some challenge in determining what’s truly postpartum preeclampsia versus something that’s continued from delivery. […] The reason why preeclampsia during pregnancy is such a big deal, and why it’s monitored so closely by providers, is the risk it carries for the pregnant person and their unborn child. […] Left untreated, it can cause organ damage or failure, preterm birth, stillbirth, growth restriction, and death for the pregnant person or their child. […] Preeclampsia and eclampsia are among the top causes of maternal deaths in addition to severe bleeding, infection, and complications during birth.
