- 2. Fetal hypoxia results in a release of catecholamines and norepinephrine, causing vasoconstriction and fetal hypertension, which may result in cardiac remodeling or hypertrophy of the ___ ____, which increases the risk of RDS after birth (2 words).
- 4. This condition, marked by hormone imbalances and irregular periods, can increase the risk of gestational hypertension and gestational diabetes (acronym).
- 8. Preeclampsia can result in elevated serum creatinine with a decreased ____ (acronym).
- 9. Preeclampsia with liver damage; occurs due to placental hypxoia resulting in dead placental fragments entering the maternal bloodstream and causing inflammation of the microvasculature of the liver (acronym).
- 11. Limited exposure to this is thought to be a risk factor for preeclampsia, due to the immune system attacking foreign DNA; may be why IVF and nulliparous individuals are at an increased risk.
- 12. Upregulation of this hormonal process due to a hypoxic placenta can contribute to preeclampsia by increasing maternal blood pressure (acronym).
- 13. Infants born to mothers with diabetes have an increased risk of this, due to a risk for polycythemia and interference with maternal milk production.
- 14. ____ injury of maternal blood vessels causes intravascular inflammation and platelet and thrombin activation, contributing to preeclampsia.
- 15. Preeclampsia may cause shortness of breath and chest pain due to pulmonary ____ from hypertension.
- 16. Gestational diabetes may result in ____, which can increase the risk of preterm delivery, neonatal hypoglycemia, jaundice, respiratory distress syndrome, and perinatal mortality.
- 18. GHTN may result in ___ delivery due to placental abruption or iatrogenically induced labour if the risks of carrying to term are deemed greater than the benefits.
- 20. Part of "HELLP;" damaged hepatocytes release cellular enzymes, causing nausea and vomiting (3 words).
- 23. The presence of this in the urine indicates damage to the kidney filtration membrane; clinical indicator of preeclampsia.
- 24. Incomplete transformation of these arteries which invade the endometrium during embryo implantation may result in oxidative stress from hypoxic placental development, increasing the risk of preeclampsia.
- 26. Medication which may be given to hypertensive pregnant patients to increase the seizure threshold, reducing the risk of eclampsia; increases the risk of post-partum hemorrhage (2 words).
Down
- 1. Part of "HELLP;" shearing of RBCs as they pass through occluded capillaries, resulting in multi-organ damage.
- 3. Infants born to mothers with diabetes have an increased risk for this, due to maternal hypomagnesemia from diuresis.
- 5. Hormone produced by the placenta which increases maternal insulin resistance to produce hyperglycemia in order to provide enough glucose for the developing fetus; implicated in the etiology of gestational diabetes mellitus (3 words).
- 6. Part of "HELLP;" aggregation of platelets and reduced thrombopoietin production from the liver result in this (3 words).
- 7. Condition in which a previously normotensive person experiences a rise in blood pressure >140/90 after 20 weeks; increases risk of pre-eclampsia (acronym).
- 8. Glucose intolerance diagnosed during pregnancy; risk factors include advanced maternal age, obesity, family history or prior pregnancy with this condition (acronym).
- 10. The only way to resolve eclampsia is by delivering this.
- 17. High blood pressure (>140/90) with proteinuria; may or may not have symptoms (swelling, headache, vision changes, RUQ discomfort).
- 19. Calcium channel blocker used to treat GHTN.
- 21. Beta blocker used to treat GHTN.
- 22. Severe preeclampsia marked by the onset of seizures.
- 25. Preeclampsia may result in frontal headaches and visual disturbances including blurred or reduced vision or light sensitivity, due to an increase of this (acronym).
