It outlines the definitions, epidemiological data with a focus on African and Ugandan prevalence, and identifies numerous risk factors such as primigravida status, family history, obesity, and thrombophilias. The etiopathogenesis explores theories related to placental implantation, immunological maladaptation, cardiovascular changes, and genetic factors, emphasizing endothelial dysfunction and vasospasm as central to the pathology.
