Dr. Saba Khan, Dr. Sangita R. Phatale

Abstract :

 

Pregnancy is a physiological process but can cause hypertension in normotensive females. Pre – eclampsia is a multisystem disease which is seen only in humans. The dyed of hypertension and proteinuria, which manifests after 20 weeks of pregnancy, is referred to as pre–eclampsia. In normal pregnancy there are many changes in haemostatic mechanism which are associated with hypercoagulable state, in PIH there is derangement in the haemostatic mechanism. The degree of coagulation derangement increases with severity of the disease. Bleeding time and Clotting time are easy to perform, bedside   inexpensive tests, so we have undertaken BT and CT as a means of assessing haemostatic status of PIH patient.

Aim and objectives: To study prognostic value of clotting time and bleeding time in pregnancy induced hypertension.

Materials and Method: The present study is a comparative prospective study. The study was started after taking the approval from the ethical committee of MGM’s Medical College and Hospital. The study was carried out in 60 normal healthy pregnant females and 60 PIH patients of age group between 20 to 35 years.

Result: Our study revealed, statistical increase in the bleeding time and clotting time in the patients of pre–eclampsia and eclampsia, when compared to normotensive pregnant females  and the increase is directly proportional to the severity of the disease .

Conclusion: There is unambiguous derangement of the haemostatic parameters in the patients of pre–eclampsia and eclampsia as compared to the normal pregnant females, patients showing a linear trend with disease, and as the disease progresses the haemostatic picture is deranged more.
