Abstract

37 patients with obvious pregnancy-induced hypertension, 56 normal pregnant women and 40 nonpregnant women in the same age groups were tested on their serum calcium(Ca), phosphorus(P) alkaline phosphatase(AKP), parathyroid hormone(PHT) and calcitonin(CT). Results indicated that the respective means of serum Ca and CT were statistically lower (P < 0.05), while AKP and PTH were higher (P < 0.01) than that of normal pregnant women. It was also confirmed that Ca metabolism of patients with pregnancy-induced hypertension was obviously abnormal. In addition, pathogenesis of pregnancy-induced hypertension was also discussed.
