Chapter 28, Problem 2CCS

38-Year-Old Female with Preeclampsia

Ms. Johansen, 38, is 26 weeks pregnant with her first child. She was diagnosed with preeclampsia (see p. 1114) three weeks ago. Antihypertensive drugs (p. 724) and daily home care monitoring were initiated. However, her blood pressure is continuing to rise and is now 162/108 mm Hg. She complains of a constant headache, exhibits edema, and her urinalysis is positive for protein.

Chapter 28, Problem 2CCS, 38-Year-Old Female with Preeclampsia Ms. Johansen, 38, is 26 weeks pregnant with her first child.

Her doctor has her admitted and orders further blood tests to assess Ms. Johansen's platelet level and liver function. "We may have to deliver because that’s the only cure for preeclampsia." she says to you during your clinical rotation in obstetrics. “But if we do, then the baby will have problems. It’s a tough decision because we have to balance both the mother's and the baby’s health.”

2. One of your fellow nurses says that preeclampsia is characterized by vasoconstriction. Does this make sense? Why or why not?

The metabolic pathway below is used for the production of the purine nucleotides adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and guanosine monophosphate (GMP) in eukaryotic cells. Assume each arrow represents a reaction catalyzed by a different enzyme. Using the principles of feedback inhibition, propose a regulatory scheme for this pathway that ensures an adequate supply of both AMP and GMP, and prevents the buildup of Intermediates A through G when supplies of both AMP and GMP are adequate.
