Changes of biochemical indexes in women with pregnancy-induced hypertension

By comparing serum calcium, BUN, Cr, UA, ALB, GLB, ALT, AST and ALP between women with PIH and normal pregnant women and normal women to explore the correlation among them. Methods: The biochemical indexes of 162 women with PIH and 60 women with normal pregnancy and 80 women without pregnancy were determined with biochemistry analysis and compared. Results: Serum calcium level in women with PIH decreased significantly (P0. 01); hepatic function of women with PIH ALT. AST and ALP were higher than those in normal pregnant women, but ALB was lower, there was significant difference between both groups (P0. 01) . Renal function of women with PIH BUN, Cr and UA level increased. There was significant difference (P0.01), which indicated the severity of PIH (P0. 01). Conclusion: Low serum calcium is one of related factors of PIH, there were damage in liver and kidney function of women with PIH. Indexes for kidney function were more susceptible than those for liver function. There was obvious relation. Their changes can indicate the degree of renal and liver function damage in women with PIH.
