Dr. Arul Malar, Dr. J. Arumaikannu

Abstract :

Aim: To determine the prevalence of retinal changes in pregnancy–induced hypertension (PIH). Study design: Hospital based retrospective study. Materials and methods: All patients who fulfilled the diagnostic criteria of PIH and who underwent treatment in PRG Hospital were included in the study. Age, obstetric score, BP, proteinuria and fundus findings were collected from the case records. PIH and retinal changes were graded. Conclusion: Occurrence of hypertensive retinopathy in PIH cases has been decreased due to better antennal care and early detection and treatment of cases. There is a greater chance of developing retinopathy with increase in blood pressure, severity of PIH and proteinuria in cases of PIH.
