title: [Gestational arterial hypertension: clinico-epidemiological study].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Epidemiological assessment of prevalence of blood hypertension (BH) in pregnant women.
  
  
  METHODS
  Blood pressure and urinary protein were measured in 5160 gravidae observed in female consultations in 4 cities of Russia.
  
  
  RESULTS
  BH was found in 1042(20.2%) examinees. Chronic BH was diagnosed in 306 patients. The rest females had gestational BH. Essential hypertension occurred in 174 patients.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  A stable rise of diastolic blood pressure above 90 mm Hg is a reliable diagnostic criterion of hypertension in gravidae. Classic proteinuric forms of gestational BH are rare.
