Abstract

Pregnancy-induced hypertension is one of the leading crucial causes of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality . The pathophysiology of pregnancy-induced hypertension is still not completely understood but is thought to be related intimately to changes in the microcirculation (Foong et al., 2000) . The main hemodynamic characteristic of pre-eclampsia is vascular dysfunction with the consequence of altered vascular reactivity, proteinuria and, in advanced disease, marked increase in peripheral vascular resistance (Vedernikov et al.,1999). The objective of this work is to study the microvascular function in pregnancy-induced hypertension using laser Doppler fluximetry and nailfold capillaroscopy with correlation of the results with maternal Doppler indices ( RI&PI of middle cerebral, renal and uterine arteries ) and fetal Doppler indices (RI&PI of umbilical and middle cerebral arteries ).
