RESUMO
Pregnancy-associated hypertension is a health problem in Mexico due to its high frequency of morbidity and mortality in mother and fetus as well. Research in this area has been restrained by limitations upon epidemiologic information, unknown etiology and the somewhat easy resolution provided when pregnancy is interrupted. We have reviewed contributions made in our country and up-to-date management concepts.

PIP: 113 multiparous fertile women ranging in age from 20 to 40 with regular menstrual cycles and who had not taken orals for 90 days prior to the trial were given continuous daily doses of 37.5 mcg of D-norgestrel for 4-14 cycles for a total of 1163 cycles of observation. A group of 20 who completed 14 cycles of treatment were given extensive physicals before and after the investigation including endometrial biopsies, vaginal hormone cytology, and blood and liver function tests. None of the patients became pregnant. Side effects were minimal and consisted mainly of headaches and nervousness. The most commonly experienced menstrual irregularities were amenorrhea and short cycles. In 2 cases curettage was done because of continuous bleeding. There was no incidence of thrombosis. There were no important changes in blood count, blood chemistry, urine, or in hepatic function. The biopsies indicated that the drug suppressed ovulation.^ieng
