Clin Case Rep. 2022 May 15;10(5):e05830. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.5830. eCollection 2022 May.

Abstract

We experienced a case of preeclampsia in which massive ascites became apparent in the postpartum period. The patient had isolated proteinuria without hypertension before delivery. The infant had fatal growth restriction and neonatal distress. Massive ascites and isolated proteinuria are important symptoms for predicting the aggravation of PE.

Keywords: endothelial dysfunction; gestational renal dysfunction; isolated proteinuria; massive ascites; preeclampsia; vascular permeability.
