Platelet estimation: its prognostic value in pregnancy induced hypertension.
Thrombocytopenia is an associated phenomenon of Pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH). But the accurate count of platelets either by manual, (direct or indirect methods) or by automated cell counters is not feasible for all patients at all hospitals. Therefore we have adopted the method of platelet estimation, not platelet count as an alternate procedure to estimate the degree of thrombocytopeni...
متن کاملIncreased platelet angiotensin II receptor number in pregnancy-induced hypertension.
Women with pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) are characterized by relatively greater blood pressure sensitivity to exogenous angiotensin II (Ang II) than normotensive pregnant women. Evidence suggests that this is due to an alteration in Ang II receptor sites. However, the question of whether this represents an increase in receptor number or affinity remains unanswered. To answer this questi...
متن کاملPregnancy-induced hypertension in twin pregnancy.
A prospective study of 54 primigravid twin pregnancies in Durban showed that pregnancy-induced hypertension occurred in 37%. This was more than twice the expected rate for singleton pregnancies in this Black African population. The babies born in the group of patients with pregnancy-induced hypertension were significantly lighter and had a higher rate of fetal growth retardation than the babies...
متن کاملRelationship between Pregnancy-induced Hypertension with Neonatal and Maternal Complications
Background Prevalence of hypertension has a relatively high prevalence especially in developing countries. In order to prevent and control the disease, it is important to know the extent of the complications. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between pregnancy-induced hypertension with neonatal and maternal complications. Materials and Methods This prospective, descrip...
متن کاملPregnancy-Induced hypertension.
Pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) complicates 6-10% of pregnancies. It is defined as systolic blood pressure (SBP) >140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) >90 mmHg. It is classified as mild (SBP 140-149 and DBP 90-99 mmHg), moderate (SBP 150-159 and DBP 100-109 mmHg) and severe (SBP ≥ 160 and DBP ≥ 110 mmHg). PIH refers to one of four conditions: a) pre-existing hypertension, b) gestati...
