Association between ABO Blood Group and Pregnancy Induced Hypertension
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
Pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) is a multifactorial pregnancy- specific syndrome affecting 5-15% of pregnant women. The exact cause is not known, thought to be multifactorial. ABO blood groups are known to be associated with many disorders in this study we try to find out its association with PIH. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 50 pregnant women with PIH and 50 women with normal pregnancy, matched for age and parity. Rh negative females or women with any other medical and surgical complication were excluded from the study. Using blood group O as the reference group, the association between blood group and PIH was estimated using odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals from logistic regression models. When compared with blood group O, women of blood group AB have an increased risk of PIH. The result of present study indicates that AB blood group have the highest risk of developing PIH. AB blood group is associated with an increased risk of thrombotic events this may be the cause of increased incidence of PIH in this group. Thus attention should be given to the AB blood group pregnant women in order to prevent the PIH and improve prognosis. Keywords: Pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH)
