PIH Flashcards
HTN in pregnancy
140/90 on 2 occasions 4 hrs apart
SBP-kortokoff sound 1
DBP- Kortokoff sound 5. ( N kortokoff sound 4 )
ACOG classification
Cat 1. Pre-eclampsia - Eclampsia syndrome
Cat 2 gestational HTN
Cat 3. Cronic HTN in pregnancy
Cat 4. Cr. HTN with superimposed pre eclampsia
Chronic HTN
Bp>/= 140/90. Before 20 weeks of gestation
Not come back to N after 12 w post delivary
PIH
POG > 20 w. Comes back to N within 12 w of delivery
Gestational HTN
PIH with no proteinuria or signs of end organ damage
Pre eclampsia
Proteinuria. ( non selective, only granular cast, not a/with red cell cast or nephritic or nephrotic syndrome &/or Signs of EOD
Dipstick test (screening). >/= +1
Urine protein creatinine ratio >/= 0.3
24 hr urine protein excretion ( gold std ) >/= 300mg
Signs of End Organ Damage
- Platelet count < 1 lakh
- Liver enz raised to 2 times + Epigastric Pain
- Serum creatinine >/= 1.1 mg/dl
- Pulmonary edema
- Visual Symptoms/ headache
Pre eclampsia classification
I. Early onset : 20-30 w
Preterm or late onset : 34 w - 37 w
Term onset : >37 w
II. PE without severe features (mild) : BP > 140/90 + no signs of impending eclampsia
PE with severe features (severe) : BP > 160/110 + signs of impending eclampsia + signs of EOD + GTCS
Signs of impending eclampsia
Headache ( not relieved by analgesics )
Epigastric pain
Visual symptoms
Eclampsia
New oneset of GTCS or coma in a pt. With pre-eclampsia
Types: Antepartum
Intrapartum ( during labour )
Postpartum ( within 48 hrs of delivery )
Cells regulating vascular remodelling
Maternal natural killer cell
Stages in PIH
I. Placental syndrome (stage 1) : AbN vascular remodelling, AbN placentation , Impaired trophoblastic differentiation/impaired pseudo vasculogenesis
II. Maternal syndrome (stage 2)
Effects of placental ischemia in PIH/PE
- Placenta : small size
- Fetus : IUGR, oliguria, oligohydroamnios
- Maternal : Increased BP
Oedema
Hemoconcentration
Virchows triad ( endothelial enjury + stasis + hypercoagubility)
Hematological changes- Thrombocytopenia, Microangiopathic hemolysis, Intravascular coagulation, Increased LDH levels
MOD
MOD in mother with PE
- Kidney : Oliguria -> Increased serum creatinine + urea + uric acid
Glomeruloendotheliosis - Liver : Stretching of glissons capsule- Epigastric pain
Periportal haemorrhage, vasospasm
Hematoma formation - Retina : Vasospasm
Visual changes scotoma
HTN retinopathy
Retinal detachment
Factors increasing in PIH
SFLT-1
Endoglin
Thrombaxin A2
Factors decreased in PIH
VEGF
Placental growth factors
NO
Prostacyclin
