Hypertension in pregnancy/postpartum — seizure or severe features?

💡 Severe pre-eclampsia features: BP ≥160/110; or pre-eclampsia with end-organ involvement (platelets <100,000, raised creatinine, raised liver enzymes/RUQ pain, pulmonary edema, cerebral or visual symptoms). Eclampsia = seizure in pregnancy or postpartum.
