Okay but why do these changes happen in preeclampsia and eclampsia?

但为什么子痫前期及子痫患者会出现这些病理变化呢？

If a woman with preeclampsia develops seizures, she is said to have eclampsia.

如果患子痫前期的孕妇出现癫痫发作，则称为“子痫”。

Seizures define the onset of eclampsia.

其中，癫痫发作是子痫的标志。

HELLP syndrome develops in about 10 to 20% of women with severe preeclampsia or eclampsia.

10%-20%的严重子痫前期或子痫妇女可发展为HELLP综合征。

But...what I did not quite realise was that eclampsia is almost invariably fatal, with or without a Caesarian.

但我不知道的是，子痫几乎是绝对致命的，不管是否采取剖腹产。

Because all of the problems of preeclampsia and eclampsia stem from placental dysfunction, the ultimate treatment is delivery of the fetus and placenta.

由于子痫前期和子痫的所有病理变化都起源于胎盘功能障碍，所以治疗的根本方法是使胎儿和胎盘娩出体外。

Even if she were at risk from eclampsia, which she is NOT, a caesarean is a gamble which might kill either or both of them.

即使她真是子痫，而她并不是，剖腹产也非常冒险，可能危及母子性命。
