Hypertension in Pregnancy • the most common medical problem encountered in pregnancy • WHO (2006) – 16% of maternal deaths in developed countries • remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality
Risk Factors • Young age and nulliparity • multiple pregnancy • BMI > 35 • African American ethnicity • Maternal age > 35 years old • History of chronic hypertension • Family history
Definition • systolic BP (SBP) ≥ 140mmHg • and/or • diastolic BP (DBP) ≥ 90mmHg • confirmed by readings over several hours apart
Categories of Hypertensive Diseases • Gestational Hypertension • Preeclampsia • Eclampsia • Preeclampsia superimposed on Chronic Hypertension • Chronic Hypertension
Gestational Hypertension • Describes any form of new-onset pregnancy-related hypertension – Transient Hypertension • BP ≥ 140/90 mm Hg for first time during pregnancy • No proteinuria • BP returns to normal < 12 weeks postpartum • Final diagnosis is made only postpartum • May have other signs or symptoms of preeclampsia (e.g. Epigastric discomfort, thrombocytopenia)
Preeclampsia • gestational HPN with proteinuria Minimum Criteria: • BP ≥ 140/90 mm Hg after 20 weeks gestation • Proteinuria ≥ 300 mg/24 hours or ≥ 1+ dipstick * edema is abandoned as a marker because it occurs in normal pregnant woman
Eclampsia • Preeclampsia complicated by generalized tonic clonicconvulsions – cannot be attributed to other causes • One of the most dangerous conditions in pregnancy • Most common in the last trimester and becomes increasingly more frequent as term approaches • Prognosis is always serious
Superimposed Preeclampsia on Chronic Hypertension • New onset proteinuria> 300 mg/24 hours in hypertensive women but no proteinuria before 20 weeks’ gestation • Sudden increase in proteinuria/ Blood Pressure/ platelet count <100,000/mm3 before 20 wks AOG (on a chronic hypertensive patient)
Chronic Hypertension • detection prior to 20 weeks AOG and persistence beyond 12 weeks postpartum
Increased Certainty • BP ≥ 160/110 mm Hg • Proteinuria • Serum creatinine > 1.2mg/dl unless known to be previously elevated • Platelets < 100,000/mm3 • increased LDH (Microangiopathichemolysis) • Elevated ALT or AST • Persistent headache or other cerebral or visual disturbance • Persistent epigastric pain
Abnormal Placentation in Preeclampsia • Pseudovasculogenesis • Cytotrophoblasts fail to adopt an invasive endothelial phenotype • Invasion of the spiral arteries is shallow – remains small caliber, resistance vessels • Placental Ischemia
Normotensivegravidas • Decreased pressor responsiveness to several vasoactive peptides and amines, espAngiotensin II • Preeclampsia • Hyperresponsiveness to angiotensin II and endothelin
Basic Management Guidelines • Termination of pregnancywith least possible trauma to the mother and the fetus • Birth of an infant who subsequently thrives • Complete restoration of the health to the • mother
Preeclampsia Management • Goal of Management: early identification of worsening preeclampsia and development of a management scheme that includes a plan for timely delivery • Hospitalization • Evaluate: • maternal weight and maternal status • BP monitoring q4 • creatinine, hematocrit, platelet count, Liver transaminases • Urinalysis every 2 days • Fetal BPS, dopplervelocimetry
Termination of Pregnancy • Headache, visual disturbances, epigastric pain or oliguria are indicative that convulsions may be imminent • Delivery is usually advisable for severe preeclampsia that does not improve after hospitalization • Labor should be induced by intravenous oxytocin • Cesarian delivery is indicated for cases of failed induction
Some Indications for Delivery in Early-Onset Severe Preeclampsia Maternal • Persistent severe headache or visual changes; eclampsia • Shortness of breath; chest tightness with rales and/or SaO2 < 94 percent breathing room air; pulmonary edema • Uncontrolled severe hypertension despite treatment • Oliguria < 500 mL/24 hr or serum creatinine 1.5 mg/dL • Persistent platelet counts < 100,000/L • Suspected abruption, progressive labor, and/or ruptured membranes
Fetal • Severe growth restriction—< 5th percentile for EGA • Persistent severe oligohydramnios—AFI < 5 cm • Biophysical profile 4 done 6 hr apart • Reversed end-diastolic umbilical artery flow • Fetal death
Effects of Expectant Management for Severe preeclampsia • Maternal: placental abruption (20%), HELLP syndrome, pulmonary edema (4%), renal failure, and eclampsia • Perinatalmortality rates averaged from 39 to 133 per 1000 - Fetal-growth restriction and perinatal mortality • Risks for eclampsia, cerebrovascularhemorrhage, and maternal death.
Intrapartum Management • Magnesium SO4 - used to arrest and prevent convulsions w/o producing generalized CNS depression • Loading dose: 4 gms IV, 10 gms IM • Maintenance dose: 5 gms q 4 hrs • Therapeutic level: 4-7 mEq/L • Loss of patellar reflex: 8-10mEq/L • Respiratory depression: 10mEq/L • Respiratory arrest: 12 mEq/L • Treatment MgSO4 toxicity: • calcium gluconate, 1 gm IV, Oxygenation
MOA: Anti-convulsant • Acts by: 1. Neuronal calcium-channel blockade through N methyl- d-aspartate receptors 2. Reversal of cerebral arterial vasoconstriction distal to the middle cerebral arteries 3. Release of endothelial prostacyclin and inhibition of platelet clumping
Intermittent intramural injections • Every 4 hours thereafter, give 5 g of a 50% solution of magnesium sulfate injected deeply in the upper outer quadrant of alternate buttocks, but only after ensuring that a. the patellar reflex is present b. respirations are not depressed c. urine output the previous 4 hours exceeded 100ml • Magnesium sulfate is discontinued 24 hours after delivery
Anti-hypertensive Therapy Hydralazine- Causes direct relaxation of arteriolar vascular smooth muscle • Drug of choice for rapid control of acute hypertension • 5 mg initial dose, 5-10 mg q 15-20 m IV until there’s satisfactory response (DBP 90-100 mmHg) • Side-effects: palpitations, tachycardia, headaches, flushing
Labetalol • a1- and nonselective -blocker. • fewer side effects (maternal hypotension and bradycardia) • Initial: 10 mg IVq10 – 20 mg, then 40 mg, 40 mg, 80 mg • maximum dose of 220 mg per treatment cycle Nifedipine - 10 mg PO q30 min. • third line drug that acts by limiting calcium channel causing relaxation of smooth muscle
Prophylaxis • Aspirin, 60-80 mg OD • suppression of thromboxane synthesis by platelets and promoting prostacyclin production • Antioxidants • significantly reduces endothelical cell activation
