Background: Among the various complications of pregnancy, pregnancy-induced hypertension is found to be the most common which may affect maternal and fetal outcome. Pregnancy induced hypertension can cause growth retardation of fetus. Aim and Objective: This study aims to assess hemodynamic variations in uteroplacental circulation in pregnancy-induced hypertension and its effect on fetal outcome. Materials and Methods: The study was carried out at tertiary care hospital of nawab shah for the period of 06 months at Department of Radiology in association with Department of Gyne and Obs. Total 106 participants were selected for the study and all females were pregnant with 1st or 2nd trimester gestational record and medical history was taken from all participants and co-morbidities was also evaluated. Blood pressure was checked from all participants from their right arm in lying position and Ultrasound test was repeated as per requirement through color Doppler ultrasound machine and Data was analyzed by using statistical software SPSS. 24.00 version. Results: After collection of research data from all participants, the entire data was assembled for the analysis. Participants were divided into various age groups as 26 were in 18-21yeras, 34 in 22-25years, 21 in 26-29years and only 07 were from 34-37years. 26 participants were belongs to 1st trimester, 34 among 2nd trimester and 21 in third trimester. PI was also noted with three different readings 32 in Umbilical artery, 21 in middle cerebral artery and 37 in uterine artery. RI was also noted among different arteries 41 in umbilical, 36 in middle cerebral and 39 in uterine arteries. S/D was also noted, 33 in umbilical artery, 49 in middle cerebral artery and 30 in uterine arteries. Conclusion: Pregnancy-induced hypertension causes hemodynamic variations in uteroplacental vasculature which may be responsible for causing impaired fetal growth in some cases.
