Conclusions: Conclusions Hypertensive disorders complicating pregnancy are one of the major causes of maternal and foetal mortality and morbidity. Early diagnosis and management can help in circumventing many of the complications of the same. Both labetolol and methydopa have been recommended as first-line drugs in various studies. Final use depends on a careful assessment of risk benefit ratio and clinician judgement. Nifidipine sustained release should be used as a second line drug and SUBLINGUAL NIFIDIPINE should NEVER be used.
Conclusions: Conclusions Watch for and screen for pre- ecclampsia in high risk individuals at regular intervals. Test of choice for proteinuria is an automated reagent strip reading device or urinary spot protein:creatinine ratio. Aspirin is the ONLY PROVEN method of primary prevention of hypertensive disorders in high risk individuals. Patient counselling and education regarding nature of illness and informed consent prior to initiating treatment is mandatory. With early detection and appropriate management, the journey with hypertension can be made a smooth one for both mother and child.
