Abstract Pre eclampsia is a major cause of maternal morbidities and mortality. Although the etiology of pre eclampsia is unknown. Hemodynamics studies suggested that many of the clinical findings might be explained by a generalized vasoconstrictive disorder and abnormal endothelial cell function. Vasoconstriction may be attributed to the increased concentration of hemoglobin found in pre eclampsia compared with normal pregnancy. Also in women who have pre eclampsia blood volume doesn’t increase which result in a relatively higher hemoglobin concentration. The present study was conducted to analyze the inverse relationship between maternal hemoglobin concentration and neonatal birth weight in pre ecplamptic women in a comparative study.The present study was conducted on 150 pregnant women admitted and managed at department of obstetric and gynecology in Tanta University Hospital from December 2013 to May 2014. All cases classified to three equal groups: The First Group: Mild pre eclampsia (BP > 140/90 mmHg recorded on two occasion 6 hours a part and proteinuria of > 300 mg with in a 24 hour urine collection. The Second Group: (BP > 160/110 mmHg recorded on two occasion 6 hours a part and proteinuria of > 500 mg with in a 24 hour urine collection and the presence of symptoms of severity such as headache, vomiting and epigastirc pain). |
