ABSTRACT
Gestational hypertension (GH) is a heterogeneous group of pathological conditions whose common denominator is an increase in blood pressure with a systolic pressure greater than or equal to 140mm-Hg and/or a diastolic pressure greater than or equal to 90mm-Hg, obtained on two occasions separated by at least 4 hours. It is a major health problem of global proportions, firstly because of its frequency, which can reach up to 15% of pregnancies, and secondly because of the high maternal and foetal morbidity and mortality for which it is responsible. The pathophysiology of this condition remains poorly defined despite the numerous studies on it.
