title: [Evaluation of umbilical artery resistance index and plasma angiotensin II in pregnancy induced hypertension].
abstract: It has already been proven that the renin-angiotensin system has deep implications during the normal pregnancy and along with pregnancy induced hypertension.
  
  
  METHODS
  We evaluated 14 third trimester pregnancies (8 normotensive and 6 hypertensive women) for body mass index, parity, age, blood pressure (BP), resistance index of the umbilical artery (RIUA), plasma angiotensin II (AngII) level.
  
  
  RESULTS
  We identified statistical significant correlations for BP with RIUA, AngII. The covariance analysis showed that the correlation was not influenced by the gestational age.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  AngII and RIUA have statistical significant correlations with BP but no interdependence between them was identified.
