Study Kidney Functions, Body Weight, Blood Pressure in Patients with Pregnancy Induced Hypertension (PIH)
Journal Title: International Journal of Biochemistry & Physiology - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
An aim of this study is to assess weight, pressure and kidney functions of healthy (control) and patient with PIH (eclampsia). Data was collected by using structured questionnaire. Body weight was measured to an accuracy of 0.1kg using a standard balance scale manufactured by Microlife®, Switzerland, and clinical data was obtained from the subjects’ records. The results were revealed that the greater levels of creatinine, blood urea, sodium, and potassium in PIH (eclampsia) patients compared with health group.
