Abstract: Hypertensive disorder in pregnancy is a disease with diverse clinical manifestations. Herein, we provided interpretations for “The Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Hypertensive Disorders in Pregnancy in China (2020 Edition)” and discussed the difficulties and confusion encountered in the management of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy in combination with clinical practice. Lowering blood pressure is the most important treatment and maintaining a stable target blood pressure can reduce damage to organ functions and is beneficial to fetal growth. When applying magnesium sulfate, attention should be paid to the indications and contraindications. Attention should be paid to hypoproteinemia in patients tested positive for proteinuria. There should be dynamic evaluation of the functions of maternal vital organs, fetal growth and development, fetal well-being and intrauterine safety, and determination of the appropriate timing of the termination of pregnancy, so as to ensure maternal and fetal safety. Attention should be paid to maternal high-risk factors, if early prediction and prevention are to be accomplished in order to reduce the incidence and severity of the disease.
