Abstract
Background: Pregnancies that are affected by hypertension have been accepted to have higher incidence of neonatal morbidity compared to those pregnancies with normal blood pressure, also these are complicated by an increased risk of premature births and LBW. These neonates also have a spectrum of hematological changes. Objective: To study the hematological profile of neonates born to mother with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in comparison to normotensive mothers. Methodology: A 2 years case control study was conducted in Pediatric department of KHMRC at KIMS, Deemed University Karad. Study consisted of 200 cases (Neonates born to mothers with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy) and controls (Neonates born to normotensive mothers) each. The study was approved by the institute research council and informed consent was taken from the patients for inclusion in the study. Results: In our study Neutropenia was seen in 42% of neonates born to HDP mothers as compared to 8% in control group. Mean ANC in neonates born to mother to hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (5061) was significantly lower than that of babies born to normotensive mothers (8261) in our study. In this study, out of 200 babies born to mothers with HDP 29% babies were Preterm while 71% babies were Term. Conclusion: Mean platelet count in neonates born to hypertensive mother was significantly lower than that of control babies in our study.
