ABSTRACT
Pregnancy-associated hypertension is a health problem in Mexico due to its high frequency of morbidity and mortality in mother and fetus as well. Research in this area has been restrained by limitations upon epidemiologic information, unknown etiology and the somewhat easy resolution provided when pregnancy is interrupted. We have reviewed contributions made in our country and up-to-date management concepts.

Pituitary adenoma, familiar type, with apparent affection over the involved somatomammotropin of secretion of growth hormone and prolactin, with dominant autosomic transmission, is described for the first time. It was seen that a couple of members without demonstrable tumour, showed clinical data (phenotype) of acromegaly. On investigation of histocompatibility antigens it was observed that the patients with tumour and other symptomatic ones, but without tumour, shared the same haplotypes, and so is very possible that investigation of HLA antigens in patients with pituitary tumour, contributes to better identify its nature and frequency.
