Abstract :

 Hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, especially preeclampsia, remains as a major cause of maternal and infant morbidity and mortality worldwide. A prevailing hypothesis regarding the pathogenesis of preeclampsia is the “ischemic model”, which means decreased uteroplacental perfusion is one of  the main cause. Preeclampsia is one of the commonest medical disorders during pregnancy and affects approximately 5–10% of all pregnancies mostly affecting the primigravida.                The present study was conducted in the Department of Physiology, Tezpur Medical College and hospital. It was carried out among 81 previously normotensive pregnant women, aged 18–35 years, over a period of 6 months, visiting casualty for delivery and admitted indoor. The study was. After delivery the fetal birth weight (FBW) were recorded accordingly.              After statistical analysis it was found that the prevalence of PIH was 74.07% and the prevalence of Low birth weight (LBW) babies was 62.96%. Both systolic and diastolic blood pressure were negatively correlated with FBW and this correlation was statistically significant. SUMMARY:            This study indicates that PIH is significantly related to the birth of low birth weight babies.
