Abstract:
Objective To investigate the changes of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] in patients with hypertension during pregnancy and its clinical significance.
Methods A total of 280 mid-to-late pregnant women who underwent birth check-up were selected as study subjects, and were divided into sufficient group(
n=78), mild deficiency group(
n=85), moderate deficiency group(
n=62), severe deficiency group(
n=55)according to 25(OH)D levels in prenatal check-up. Comparison of the incidence of pregnancy-induced hypertension in each group was performed. Meanwhile, based on the diagnosis and follow-up results, these patients were divided into normal pregnancy group(
n=125)and observation group(
n=155)that were further subdivided into pregnancy-induced hypertension group(
n=86), mild preeclampsia group(
n=34), severe preeclampsia group(
n=17), chronic hypertension complicated with preeclampsia group(
n=18)according to the types of disease. The serum 25(OH)D levels of normal pregnant group, observation group and their subgroups were compared, and the relationship between serum 25(OH)D level and pregnancy-induced hypertension was analyzed.
Results The incidence of pregnancy-induced hypertension was the highest in severe deficiency group(100.0%), followed by moderate deficiency group, mild deficiency group and adequate group. The level of serum 25(OH)D in normal pregnant women was significantly - higher than that in subgroups(
P<0.05), and was the lowest in chronic hypertension complicated with preeclampsia group.
Conclusion Serum 25(OH)D level is significantly related to pregnancy-induced hypertension, and timely guidance of vitamin D supplementation for pregnant women is of great significance in the prevention of pregnancy-induced hypertension.
