Pregnancy-induced hypertension (Hypertensia gravidarum)

Gestational Hypertension is diagnosed when systolic Blood pressure rises by 30 mm Hg or more, and diastolic pressure by 15 mm Hg or more compared to baseline levels in early Pregnancy.

There are three degrees of severity of this condition:

Grade I – blood pressure does not exceed 150/90 mm Hg;

Grade II – blood pressure ranges from 150/90 to 170/110 mm Hg;

Grade III – blood pressure exceeds 170/110 mm Hg.

From a practical standpoint, the danger lies not in the arterial hypertension itself, but in its associated complications (Fetal Hypoxia, intrauterine growth restriction with preterm labor, and placental abruption). Therefore, upon detecting persistent hypertension, pregnant women should be hospitalized and prescribed intensive Treatment.
