In a recent Editorial did a commentary on the new Guide Hypertension in Pregnancy published by the Task Working Hypertension in Pregnancy and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists - ACOG (1). In these new guides done Referring primarily to preeclampsia (PE), the definition has been removed dependency diagnosis of proteinuria. When there is no proteinuria, the diagnosis of preeclampsia will do this when pregnant hypertension associated with thrombocytopenia, impaired liver function, renal failure, edema pulmonary or cerebral or visual appearance (2) changes, that is, there is involvement of organs and systems by dysfunction endothelial and others. In the Prologue of the Guidelines is emphasized that etiology has not been elucidated, the incidence of PE has increased 25% in the USA in the past two decades, is cause of mortality and perinatal and maternal cardiovascular risk factor in the future. Notes that, despite substantial progress in knowledge about the pathophysiology of preeclampsia in the last 10 years and efforts to obtain evidence for the management therapeutic, this has not improved outcomes.
