The study aimed to find out the incidence rate, high - risk factors, and maternal and perinatal outcomes associated with the hypertensive disorder. A total of 110 antenatal women with hypertension and eclampsia admitted to the labour room. The incidence rate of hypertensive disorders was found to be 9.2% (n=110). The maximum number (45.45%, n=50) of patients were aged between 21 to 25 years followed by 18 to 20 years (35.45%, n=39). The majority of the patients (57.3%, n=63) were primigravida. The majority of women had preeclampsia (66.40%, n=73) followed by gestational hypertension (18.19%, n=20). Maternal complications were seen in 52.72% (n=58) of mothers. A significant association was observed in maternal complications and hypertensive disorder (P<0.001). In the total of n=46 (41.81%) cases the neonatal outcomes were abnormal. A significant association was observed in hypertension and neonatal outcomes (P<0.05). The hypertensive disorders of pregnancy is most common in young age primigravida women.
