What are the causes of Eclampsia?
The cause of eclampsia is not well understood. If pre-eclampsia is not controlled, it can lead to eclampsia. Usually very few cases of eclampsia are reported in India, today. An increased risk for pre-eclampsia is associated with first time pregnancies, teenage pregnancies or mothers older than 40 years, multiple pregnancies and women with a history of diabetes, hypertension or renal (kidney) disease.
