Pt is G1P0 @ 32 weeks GA. Presented with HA and swelling. ER kept her instead of sending her to OB triage to be evaluated. The ER started an IV and had bolused a liter by the time the LD nurse went to monitor her. She found the patient to have these blood pressures and immediately transfered to labor and delivery. Pic 2 is first labs drawn. Pic 3 is labs 6 hrs later. What happened?
