ToRsemide for pOstpartum HYpertension

Summary

Currently there is no intervention to prevent persistent postpartum hypertension in preeclamptic women. Physiologically, the use of a pharmacokinetically predictable loop-diuretic is a reasonable intervention to increase elimination of extra fluid accumulated secondary to preeclampsia.The purpose of this study is to assess if Torsemide reduces the incidence of persistent postpartum hypertension in preeclamptic women.
