DiseaseDisorder infobox | Name = Pregnancy-induced hypertension | ICD10 = O13-O14 | ICD9 = 642 | Pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) is defined as the development of new arterial hypertension in a pregnancy|pregnant woman after 20 weeks gestation. It does not normally require treatment, but is monitored closely to rapidly identify pre-eclampsia and its life-threatening complications (HELLP syndrome and eclampsia). Treatment options are limited, as many antihypertensives may negatively affect the fetus; methyldopa and labetolol are most commonly used for severe pregnancy hypertension. med-stub Category:Obstetrics This article is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License.
