Abstract

Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy complicate up to 10% of pregnancies worldwide, constituting one of the greatest causes of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. The basic pathology of pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) is poor placentation, and vasospasm of vessels along with alteration of hematological profile. The study was conducted in Dr. D. Y. Patil Hospital and Research institute, Kolhapur, on 50 patients clinically diagnosed as PIH, and 50 normotensive pregnant women both with gestational age ? 20 weeks. In the present study of the 50 PIH cases 22 cases (44%) had severe PIH (diastolic BP ?110mmHg) and 28 cases (56%) had mild PIH (diastolic BP ?100mmHg) PIH was found to be common in young primigravidas. Thrombocytopenia was the most common haematological aberration seen in PIH. In the present study thrombocytopenia (<1.5 lakhs) was seen in 12 (24%) of total PIH cases. We made a conclusion that simple and routine tests like CBC with platelet count and platelet indices are highly helpful in suspecting deranged coagulation early in courses of disease and have a crucial role in reducing mortality and morbidity of both mother and fetus.
