Abstract: ObjectiveTo observe the changes of the levels of serum TNF-α and IL-6 in patients with hypertensive disorders in pregnancy(HDIP),to explore the significance of serum TNF-α and IL-6 in HDIP.MethodsThe levels of serum TNF-α and IL-6 in 30 patients with HDIP( 11 cases with gestational hypertension,11 casses with mild preeclampsia,8 cases with severe preeclampsia) and 18 healthy pregnant women were detected.ResultsThe levels of serum TNF-α in HDIP were( 1.88 ±0.48) μg/L,(2.32 ±0.40) μg/L and(2.35 ± 0.42) μg/L,The levels of serum IL-6 of HDIP were (99.54 ± 31.62) ng/L,( 120.53 ± 26.42)ng/L,( 140.83 ± 22.13 ) ng/L respectively,the serum levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in healthy pregnant women were( 1.63 ± 0.32)μg/L and(95.82 ± 30.65 )ng/L,there was significant difference among them ( all P ＜ 0.05 ).ConclusionThe serum levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in HDIP were higer than those in healthy pregnant women,and vascular endothelium cell injury should play an important role in the pathogenesis and development of HDIP.
