BRAVO, Jordana et al. Clinical characteristics of pregnants with chronic hypertension attended in a general hospital in Lima. Rev Med Hered [online]. 2013, vol.24, n.4, pp.287-292. ISSN 1729-214X.

Objectives: To describe epidemiological, clinical and laboratory characteristics of pregnants with chronic hypertension (CH), as well as to investigate the outcome of their pregnancies. Methods: Case series that included pregnants with CH atttended at Hospital Nacional Cayetano Heredia from 2006 to 2012. Descriptive statistics were used for categorial and continuos variables. Results: A total of 41 pregnants with CH were included; 56% had at least 35 years of age; 68.3% presented associated pre-eclampsia; 9.8% had estimated glomerular filtration rates < 90 mil/min, and 58.8% had proteinuria > 300mg measured in a 24 hour period. Abdominal delivery occured in 73.2%; 41.5% of newborns were pre-term, and 39.1% had body weight less than 2 500g. Conclusions: Pregnants with CH in this setting present with similar features as previously described in other studies, but higher rates of pre-eclampsia and mother-child complications were observed.
