Abstract
Pregnancy induced hypertension is a major cause of health problems and death among pregnant women thus the aim of this study was to evaluate pregnancy caused hypertension and its related factors among women. Data was gathered via in‐person interviews. Blood pressure was monitored in all pregnant women using a mercury sphygmomanometer while they were sat in both the erect and supine positions. For referred women, blood pressure and protein urea levels at the time of diagnosis were recorded from the referral form. The age group under 20 years had 66 patients the age group between 20 and 25 years had 76 patients and the age group between 25 and 30 years had 30 patients. Seventy two individuals were unmarried, while 100 individuals were in a marital union. Thirty eight individuals had completed primary school, 56 individuals had completed secondary education and 78 individuals had completed higher education. The discrepancy was notable (p<0.05). Using both history evaluation and physical results can be a helpful method to identify those who are at a higher risk of developing hypertension diseases. Risk factors, pregnancy, hypertension.
