ABSTRACT
To measure maternal serum beta human chorionic gonadotropin during 13-24 weeks of pregnancy and compare the same between those who develop pregnancy induced hypertension with those who do not. In a prospective study βhCG levels were estimated in 75 antenatal women in the second trimester (12-24 weeks) by ELISA technique. Results were noted in terms of development of preeclampsia, mean serum levels of the marker, mode of delivery and complications. During the course of study, a total of 8 (10.7%) patients developed hypertension. Thus incidence of pregnancy induced hypertension was 10.7%. A significant rise of mean serum βhCG level (32022MIU/ml, mean)was present in those who developed preeclampsia.The marker can prove an important role in early recognition of a pregnancy related complication and provides the obstetrician ample opportunity to guide the management during pregnancy.
