Relationship Between Pregnancy-Induced Hypertension and Liver Function Test: An Observational Study
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Liver damage accompanying preeclampsia may range from mild hepatocellular necrosis with serum enzyme abnormalities (aminotransferase and lactate dehydrogenase) to the ominous hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count (HELLP) syndrome. Methods: The study was undertaken at Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, NIMS Medical College and Hospital, Rajasthan for the period of 1 year on 100 patients diagnosed with PIH. Results: Variable degree of proteinuria was seen in patients of Pre Eclampsia whereas in Eclampsia group it was of 3+ or more. Mean SGOT, SGPT, Alkaline Phospatase, Total bilirubin was elevated in patients with PE and E group and were in normal range in GTN group. Mean Total protein was lower in patients with eclampsia group only. Conclusion: Inclusion of LFTs with routine investigations leads to early prediction of severity of PIH and subsequent complications. The primary aim of antepartum monitoring is timely recognition of maternal & fetal complications by special investigation (LFT); and to take appropriate in time intervention to prevent further serious complications to both mother and fetus.
