Ιπ the Anglo-American
literature alone,
used also by other Anglo-Americo-phile countries
(Scandinavia, Germany, South
Africa) are close to 1 00 names af this syndrome to be
found. This Ieads to confusion, missunderstanding and
prevents comparison of results and therewith progress
ίπ research. |

Discussion of those names
4.
Toxemia, Toxicosis.
Never a toxic substance could be isolated responsible
for all cases of ΕΡΗ -Getosis, not even for some of
the cases (Decision : Το be
dropped)
5.
Preeclampsia
Ιπ the Anglo-American Iiterature:Αll
cases with hypertension and proteinuria, sometimes
also with edema are being labeled
as preeclampsia. This term was described as misnomer
and recomended to be dropped.
In the German Iiterature it describes the condition
immediately before the
eclamptic seizure (Eclampsia imminens. ΕΙ ).(Decision
Το be dropped)
6.
Hypertension
Hypertension has many causes (cardia, renal,
endocrinal, malformations, psychological)
The readings depend on many factors (position of the
patient, condition of patient as well as doctor Οr
who ever takes the blood pressure, time of the day,
equippment and its instruction and use, state of
knowledge etc..)In underpriviledged areas a blood
pressure apparatus, a stethoscope and the instruction
how to use both might be a Iuxury unheared of. The
readings of blood pressure have been vastly ονer
estimated (Decision :Το be
dropped)
4.
Complicated names,
like Trophoblastic
nephrovasculopathy
Οr Choriogenic Nephropathy
Οr Vasculo Chorionic
Nephrosis
Οr
Oedemo-nephrotisch-hypertensiver Symptomencomplex
might be convincing for their inventors but would
never be accepterd generally (Decision: Το be dropped)
4.
Eclampsia
is the easiest condition to be identified. It is
always connected with tonic- clonic convulsions (
Convulsive eclampsia, Eclampsia convulsiva. EC)
We know about the very rare cases of silent
eclampsia .(Decision: Το be considered)
5.
Impending or Imminent Eclamspsia,(EI)
.similarely is easy to detect. It can very well be
separated from other forms of
ΕΡΗ -Gestosis by the signs and symptoms the
patient shows. It is especially important a condition
because it enables us to recognize the danger of a
seizure to develop. This next step to Convulsive
Eclampsia can be prevented (
Decision: Το be considered)
6.
Gestosis.
This is actually the correct name. It indicates that
we are dealing with a pregnancyJ a Gestation (Gest...
) which shows an abnormal course (... osis). And if
this disturbed pregnancy shows the signs and symptoms
of EdemaJ and / or
Proteinuria and / or
Hypertension then it is an ΕΡΗ -Gestosis which we may
subdivide in several groups:
Ε, Ε ,P -
monosymptomatic cases
ΕP,EH, PH, EPH - polysymptomatic
cases
This name is just descriptive. It does not imply
causes, prognosis, underlying disease
or therapy. And also it does
not Iable this complication as one single disease but
as a syndrome of which we should search for its cause
(causes)
That's why
we call this syndrome EPH-Gestosis |
