Brief summary describing the background
and objectives of the trial
|
Preeclampsia is a disorder of pregnancy characterized by the onset of high blood pressure and often a significant amount of protein in urine. The condition begins after 20 weeks of pregnancy. In severe disease there may be red blood cell breakdown, a low blood platelet count and impaired liver function. Preeclampsia cause more than 60,000 maternal deaths annually. As preeclampsia occurs at preterm gestations, clinicians are often forced to do early delivery of pregnancy to prevent major maternal morbidity, but this will lead to prematurity of fetus. Inparticular, fetuses delivered at less than 33 weeks gestation are at significant risk of severe disability including chronic lung diseases and death. The only treatment option available to arrest the disease is delivery of the pregnancy. If a safe treatment was available that could stop the disease progression of preeclampsia, clinicians could delay the delivery and gain gestation to improve fetal outcome, and this could save the lives of many infants.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Esomperazole in management of early preeclampsia. |
