[38] [39] Patients who have gestational hypertension and pre-eclampsia have an increased risk of eclampsia. [41] Furthermore, women with other pre-existing vascular diseases (diabetes or nephropathy) or thrombophilia disease such as the antiphospholipid syndrome are at higher risk to develop pre-eclampsia and eclampsia.
