A Comparative Study of Serum Lipids and Lipoprotein - A Levels of Women with Pregnancy Induced Hypertension (PIH) and Normal Pregnant Women
Abstract: Hypertensive disorders complicating pregnancy is the one of the most common medical problem of pregnancy.1 Worldwide, hypertensive disorders in pregnancy causes complication in about 10 -16 % of pregnancies and are important source of maternal and fetal morbidity or mortality.

Hypertension in pregnancy is diagnosed when blood pressure is 140/90 mm of hg or greater using kortakoff phase 5 to define diastolic pressure with proteinuria and edema after 20 week of gestation.
