  Preeclampsia is a collection of symptoms that occur during pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period consisting of the triad: hypertension, proteinuri, and edema. In pre eclampsia there is spasm of blood vessels accompanied by salt and water retention. In renal biopsy found a great spasm of glomerular arterioles. In some cases, such a narrow lumen of arterioles that can only be traversed by a single red blood cell.

So if all experiencing spasm of the arterioles in the body, the blood pressure will go up in an effort to cope with the pressure that peripheral tissue oxygenation can be satisfied. While weight gain and edema caused by the accumulation of excess water in the interstitial space is not known why, probably due to retention of water and salt. Proteinuria can be caused by spasm of the arterioles resulting in a change in the glomerulus.
