Biochemical profile in pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH): A hospital based study
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Biochemistry - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: The term pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) is used to describe any new pregnancy onset related hypertension. It includes the development of hypertension without proteinuria and is a potential precursor to preeclampsia or eclampsia in the latter circumstance. Material and Methods: The present study was carried out at MNR Medical college and hospital from August 2017 to ecember 2017. The study subjects selected from the obstetrics and gynecology ward of MNR hospital. The study subject comprises normotensive pregnant women and women with PIH. Total 50 subjects were selected, and further divided into two groups; group-1 normotensive pregnant women and group 2 pregnant women with PIH. Results: The two groups were similar in the parameters like age, gestational age at blood sampling, and gestational age at delivery. Proteinuria, serum uric acid, Creatinine, and triglycerides were increased in cases than controls and showed a statistically significant increase as compared to the control group. Conclusion: Thus the assessment of biochemical profile may be helpful in prevention of complications in PIH.
