Abstract
Hypertension is a major health problem among pregnant women all over the world due to high perinatal morbidity and mortality. Maternal mortality is mostly related to eclampsia, antepartum haemorrhage (placental abruption), HELLP syndrome, pulmonary oedema, acute renal failure, and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Though treating hypertension would not alter the progression of the disease, however, it has been shown that with proper antenatal care, early recognition of preeclampsia and timely intervention, decreases the frequency of hypertensive crisis and feto-maternal complications. So current study was design to find out the the incidence of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and associated maternal and fetal mortality and morbidity rates, and to shed some light on factors influencing it.
