Term PIHS is an acute or specific hypertension of pregnancy which is peculiar to pregnant or puerperal women Diagnosis of PIHs is made on the basis of development of hypertension with or without proteinuria, edema or both after the twentieth week of gestation although the signs and symptoms may appear earlier with hydatidiform moles
Term : PIHs is an acute or specific hypertension of pregnancy which is peculiar to pregnant or puerperal women .Diagnosis of PIHs is made on the basis of development of hypertension with or without proteinuria ,edema ,or both after the twentieth week of gestation ,although the signs and symptoms may appear earlier with hydatidiform moles
Classification: 1. Mild: Bp 2140/90mmHg or Bp has a rise of 30mmH systolic pressure or 15 mmHg diastolic pressure(4/2 Kpa)over the prepregnant level, with or without trace proteinuria or edema 1. gestational hypertension) 2. Moderate: Bp <160/110 mmHg (21.3/14.6 Kpa ),with proteinuria“+” or edema 2. preeclampsia/mild) 3. Severe: Bp 2160/110 mmHg(21. 3/14.6Kpa), with proteinuria ++or edema (2. preeclampsia/severe) (1) preeclampsia: above-described signs with headache visual disturbances and tightness of chest. ( 2. preeclampsia/severe) (2) Eclampsia: the signs and symptoms of pre-eclampsia with convulsion 3. eclampsia)
Classification : 1. Mild : Bp ≥140/90mmHg or Bp has a rise of 30mmHg systolic pressure or 15 mmHg diastolic pressure (4/2 Kpa ) over the prepregnant level,with or without trace proteinuria or edema. (= 1. gestational hypertension) 2. Moderate :Bp <160/110 mmHg (<21.3/14.6 Kpa ) ,with proteinuria “+” or edema . (= 2. preeclampsia/mild) 3. Severe : Bp ≥160/110 mmHg (21.3/14.6Kpa), with proteinuria “++” or edema . (= 2. preeclampsia/severe) (1) preeclampsia : above-described signs with headache ,visual disturbances and tightness of chest.(= 2. preeclampsia/severe) (2) Eclampsia : the signs and symptoms of pre-eclampsia with convulsion .

Etiology. 1. Utero-placental ischaemia: Abnormal development of the placental bed vessels /shallow trophoblast invision in spiral arteries /acute arterosis 2. Endothelial cell activation/dysfunction. Cytotoxic factors: oxygen free raicals /lipid peroxidation /very low density lipoprotein(vlDL)/fibronection / platelet derived growth factor( PDGF)/tumor necrosis factor-a(TNF-a)/interleukins-6(IL-6) anti-vascular endothelial factor / endothelial inhibitive factor 3. Immunity i (1) fail to express HLA-G mRNA or protein (2)abnormal maternal immune situation such as Ts/Th decrease and ThI function dominent 4. Genetics gene recessive trait

Pathophysiology. Basic pathophysiology changes: spasm of the arterioles activationdamage of endothelium ---reduced organ perfusion: Hypertension Proteinuria/Edema Pathology: hemorrhage /ischemia /necrosis/ 1. Placenta 1) premature aging of villi (2) hemorrhage () necrosis 2. Kidney ----glomerular changes (1) swelling of endothelial cells (2)the deposition of amorphous materials in cytoplasm produce enlargement (3) swelling of the glomerular capillarities

ver: periport 4. Brain cortical/subcortical areas 5. Heart: increase of cardiac afterload, prelod may or v 6. Hematological changes: hypercoagulation status, HELLP(hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low count platelets) Clinical finding. Proteinuria is a very common finding in preeclampsia (1) Hypertension is the most significant primary sign of PIHs (3) Edema is a common first sign of impending or actual preeclampsia classified into 4 degrees Degree 1: edema involves in shanks 2: edema involve in thighs 3. edema involves in vulva and abdomen 4: edema involves face and fingers (4) Headache (5) Visual disturbances (6) The tightness of chest (7) Convulsion
