The criteria for pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH: hypertensive type of toxemia) have been determined by the Japanese Obstetrics and Gynecology Society. Mild PIH is classified into two types. One is "Absolute PIH (A-PIH)" diagnosed by (1) systolic blood pressure (SBP) greater than or equal to 140 mmHg and less than 160 mmHg or (2) diastolic blood pressure (DBP) greater than or equal to 90 mmHg and less than 110 mmHg. The other one is "relative-PIH (R-PIH)" diagnosed by (3) an increase in SBP greater than or equal to 30 mmHg compared to the usual SBP or (4) an increase in DBP greater than or equal to 15 mmHg compared to the usual DBP (In this paper, blood pressure prior to the 12th gestational week is considered as "usual" blood pressure). However, there has been no report in which two types of PIH are assessed. Our hypothesis is that the pathophysiology of the two types of PIH is different. We have already reported the clinical background of two types of PIH. The purpose of this study is to clarify the pathophysiological difference by evaluating the blood pressure change during pregnancy. We evaluated 963 nullipara and 747 multipara whose pregnancies were recorded from the 1st trimester (multiple pregnancy and pre-term delivery before the 32nd gestational week were excluded). Among the nullipara, 765 women (79.4%) were diagnosed as having normal blood pressure (N-group), 7.1% as A-PIH, and 13.0% as R-PIH. Among the multipara, the N-group consisted of 632 women (84.6%), the A-PIH: 4.6% and R-PIH: 10.3%.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
