Hi there, Toxemia of pregnancy or severe pre eclampsia is a very worrisome condition and the blood pressure you have mentioned are very high. The life of your freind is at risk at such high pressure and she can get a convulsion/fit, bleeding, kidney failure at any time. She needs to be taken care in a Intensive Care unit and monitooring of the condition and medication to control the blood pressure should be given. She will also require a injection Magnesium Sulphate intravenous drip till she delivers. Yes delivery will definitely improve her situation as the cause of high pressure is the pregnancy. But whether induction of labour or caesarean section will have to be decided based on her previous delivery, her general condition and the likely hood of successful vaginal delivery if induced. It would help me to guide you better if you would tell me how many weeks pregnant she is currently. Hope this helps. Regards.
