Abstract :

The pre eclamptic toxemia remains leading cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality (1). Out of total 1148 deliveries in the study period there were 137(12%) cases of pregnancy induced hypertension. Lower maternal age, primigravida, unbooked , low socio economic status, low education, history of PIH in previous pregnancy, anemia, pre–existing chronic hypertension are various factors in causation. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment of PIH and its complications are key to success in prevention of maternal or fetal loss.
