The classification of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, their definitions, the current treatment guidelines, objectives of treatment and the potential risks of various hypertensive diseases of pregnancy has been reviewed. The recent advance in this field has been summarized. There are some changes in the diagnostic criteria and measurement of the severity of preeclampsia which has also been summarized.
