[VEGF serum concentration in pregnant women with hypertension].
Arterial hypertension is the main reason of mothers and fetals mortality rate. The main aim of the study was to find the correlation between the VEGF concentration and the risk of hypertension in pregnancy.


METHODS
the study was conduced in High Risk Pregnancy Department Medical University of Lodz in 2001-2004. The study group consist of pregnant women with arterial hypertension. VEGF concentration and arterial blood pressure were measured. The measurement was done every 4 weeks starting from 20 week of gestation, VEGF kit was used. The measurement was done spectrofotometrically.


RESULTS
In the group of obese pregnant women we found the correlation between VEGF concentrations and blood pressure.


CONCLUSIONS
In the group of pregnant women, the risk of HA was correlated with VEGF concentrations.
