A Comparative Study of Perinatal Safety and Antihypertensive Efficacy of Methyldopa and Labetalol in Treatment of Hypert- Ension in Pregnancy
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Hypertensive disorders are the most common medical complications of pregnancy and are an important cause of maternal and perinatal morbiddity worldwide1 . These include preeclampsia and eclampsia. Gestational hypertension is defined as de novo rise in BP >140/90mmHg after mid pregnancy (20weeks) and distinguished from preeclampsia by the absence of proteinuria. Gestational hypertension is termed transient hypertension if preeclampsia does not develop and blood pressure has returned to normal by 12 weeks postpartum. It is considered mild when BP>140/90 mm Hg and severe when BP>160/110 mm Hg
