PIH Flashcards
Pathogenesis mg complications
In pregnancy bp is regulated by which hormone
Progesterone ( smooth muscle relaxant ) causing Dec pvr hence Dec BP
Mainly which BP is maintained
Dbp
BP Dec most in which tri
2 nd tri
BP Dec more in which position
Supine position ( supine hypotension syndrome ) Ivc compression
When do we refer pt as htn
BP >= 140/90 on 2occ atleast 4-6hrs apart best 6
In n individual dbp is indicated by
And in preg
Muffling /k4
Disappreance of sound k5
When does pih most commonly develop
At 20 weeks
Def pih
That starts after 20 weeks and comes to normal after 12 weeks if delivery
Preclampsia criteria
Proteinuria
Signs of end organ damage
Either one should be present
Proteinuria
> =30 mg/DL
=300mg/24hrs
Urinary protein / creatinine >o.3
Proteinuria is always in preg
Glycosuria can be
Pathological
Physilogical
Signs of end organ damage
Plt <= 1 lakh Serum creat >1.1 Inc liver enzymes> 2 times Pulm edema Cerebral edema
Mild preclampsia def
BP > = 140/90
But <160/110
No sign of eod
Severe preclampsia def
> = 160/110
Eod+
Now in criteria of severe / mild preclampsia outdated criteria
Proteinuria
Oliguria
Iugr
Pathology of pih
Lack of
trophoblastic invasion - ie the cytotrophobast replaces the lining of maternal spiral a and converts it into low resistance vessels
P Dec
Hence v Inc in intervillous space
Time of first trophoblastic invasion
First at 10-12 weeks
2nd at 16- 18 weeks ..
.higher chances of being incomplete
hence resistance inc and BP inc especially after 20 weeks
What type of placenta is seen in pih
Small placenta
Because of Dec in blood in ivs due to inc BP
Big placenta causes
Twin
DM
Rh-ve
How does edema appear in pih
Placental ischemia causes relase of inflammatory mediators
Cause capillary endothelium leak
Plasma collects in 3rd space
Inside capillary _ hemoconcenteation causes eod
Eod is caused by
Hemoconcenteation
Abnormality of platelet functions
Why is diuretics contraindicated in pih
Because of hemoconcenteation
Indications of diuretics in pregnancy
Lv failure
Raised ICT
Paul edema
Severe preclampsia conseq
Convulsions ( Dec CBF )
Dec blood flow to fetus ( iugr ) and oligo
Dec renal flow in mother Dec in gfr
Serum uric acid and creatinine+

Def Management of mild pe
Deliver at. 37 weeks by vagina
Def Manag of severe pe
Deliver at 34 weeks by vagina
