PREGNANCY INDUCED HYPERTENSION AND ITS EFFECT ON THE FETUS

摘要

PIH is a reflection of the outcome of maternai and neonatal complication. The prevalence of the disorder was noted mainly with rural population of Pondicherry and Tamilnadu among low income group. It could be confirmed that poor nutritional status combined with hard and monotonous work, performed under adverse and unsanitary conditions appear to have influence on the onset and development of PIH. Significant changes were notseen in clinical parameters. The visible symptoms may aid in the early identification of the onset of PIH. Preeclmpsia currently remains a mysterious disease with an uncertain etiology. However there are certain high risk factors associated with development of PIH, 3RD, one:of the major factors was analysed thoroughly and was found that there is significant reduction in the BP which reveals the impact of dietary modifications followed by PIH patients and the reduction of LBW babies and neonatal complication and thereby reducing Infant Mortality and Morbidity. Better ANC plays akey role in successful outcome of fetus. This is a sensitive index reflecting standards of health care prior and during pregnancy and the child birth, as well as the effectiveness of social and welfare measures in support of the vulnerable segment of thepeople. The researchers based on the observations and results of the study, recommend the important measure for future management of PiH patients : Improved care and counselling of PIH patients, imparting nutritional knowledge may find solutions to complicative disorders and it falls on the shoulders of government and non government agencies to derive policies and direct programmes and address the issues boldly during the 10th Five Year Plan period.
