Which of the following is NOT a sign of preeclampsia?

The correct answer is that normal urine output is not a sign of preeclampsia. In cases of preeclampsia, patients often experience symptoms like high blood pressure, rapid weight gain due to fluid retention, and severe headaches as a result of increased blood pressure and potential hypertension-related complications.

Under normal circumstances, urine output is not only expected to be maintained but may actually decrease in situations of severe preeclampsia due to kidney impairment. Therefore, the presence of normal urine output does not align with the clinical indicators of preeclampsia, where one usually observes changes in urine output as the disease progresses. This distinction is critical in correctly identifying the condition and providing appropriate care.
