How is pregnancy-induced hypertension diagnosed?

Diagnosis is often based on the increase in blood pressure levels, but other symptoms may help establish PIH as the diagnosis. Tests for pregnancy-induced hypertension may include the following:

•blood pressure measurement.

•urine testing.

•assessment of edema.

•frequent weight measurements.

•eye examination to check for retinal changes.

•liver and kidney function tests.

•blood clotting tests

i had the same thing and then it turned into preclamsia it can be very dangerous so when the doctor tells you stay in bed really stay in bed. It's dangerous for the baby and the mother . My kidneys were leaking and my liver was shutting down so be very careful. good advice keep your feet up they well swell and don't get discouraged about the weight it will come right off after the baby because its mostly water with hypertension you swell a lot.

When you have high blood pressure but no symptoms of pre-eclampsia (no protein in the urine, no edema, no other issues).
