Analysis of the correlation of hematocrit and red blood cell distribution width with gestational hypertension
Objective To analyze the correlation of hematocrit(Hct)and red blood cell distribution width(RDW)with gestational hypertension.Methods A total of 465 pregnant women who underwent regular prenatal examinations were randomly selected for retrospective analysis,of which 260 normal pregnant women served as the control group,150 pregnant women with gestational hypertension as the gestational hypertension group,and 55 pregnant women with preeclampsia as the preeclampsia group.The levels of hematocrit and red blood cell distribution width were measured and compared among the three groups.Results At 20 weeks of gestation,the red blood cell distribution width of the control group,the preeclampsia group and the gestational hypertension group were(12.40±1.32)%,(14.43±1.76)%and(15.29±1.45)%,and the hematocrit levels were(33.50±3.50)%,(34.20±3.04)%and(35.40±3.84)%.At 28 weeks of gestation,the red blood cell distribution width of the control group,the preeclampsia group and the gestational hypertension group were(12.37±1.26)%,(14.55±1.56)%and(15.35±1.34)%,and the hematocrit levels were(34.00±3.51)%,(36.00±3.21)%and(37.20±4.35)%.At 20 and 28 weeks of gestation,the red blood cell distribution width and hematocrit level of the preeclampsia group and the gestational hypertension group increased significantly compared with those of the control group,and the preeclampsia group was higher than the gestational hypertension group.The difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).At 20 and 28 weeks of gestation,there was no significant difference in red blood cell distribution width and hematocrit level among the control group,the preeclampsia group and the gestational hypertension group(P>0.05).Conclusion There are significant differences in hematocrit and red blood cell distribution width in pregnant women with gestational hypertension and preeclampsia compared with normal pregnant women.These results can serve as auxiliary diagnostic indicators of gestational hypertension and help early disease identification and intervention.
