Sonography data in pregnant women with arterial hypertension

Abstract

THE AIM - to identify the sonography picture features in pregnant women with somatic pathology and without it. PATIENTS AND METHODS. 401 complex clinical examination of pregnant women aged from 18 to 46 years with somatic pathology were performed: group 1 with gestational hypertension, group 2 with essential arterial hypertension. The control group consisted of 152 pregnant women. All patients were examined impatiently and outpatiently according to diagnostic standards. RESULTS. The length and thickness of kidneys remained the most constant parameters in main groups during gestation and after it (p> 0.05). The volume of kidney in comparison of control group increased up to second trimester of pregnancy: in 1 group at the expense of left kidney width, in 2 group at the expense of right kidney. Dilation of right kidney pelvis was more significant in 2 group with chronical arterial hypertension. Diameter of the cups was significantly increased in comparison with the control and with the same parameters in group 2. CONCLUSION. Changes of the kidneys detected by ultrasonic biometrics, and anthropometric parameters are statistically significantly interrelated and reflect the kidneys remodeling during gestation stages in both pregnancy women with gestation and chronic arterial hypertension.
