Abstract
Objectives: The objectives of this work were to calculate the frequency of arterial hypertension during pregnancy, describe the epidemiological profile, and identify the most common type of hypertension and to establish fetal prognosis based on uricemia and maternal proteinuria. Methodology: This was a six (6) month descriptive prospective study performed in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Donka National Hospital-CHU Conakry. The study took place from july 1 st to December 31st, 2015. Results: The frequency of arterial hypertension during pregnancy was 8.82% in the service. The epidemiological profile was that of teenagers (32.8%), nulliparous (56%), coming from home (69.2%), not having performed CPN (52%), not schooled (68%) and housewives. The primary factor was the risk factor (52.4%). Gestational age greater than 37 was the most concerned (62%). The reasons for consultation are dominated by headache (76%) and vertigo (68%). The main type of hypertension was pre-eclampsia (48%) followed by Transient HTA (28%). The predominant clinical form during the admission was pre-eclampsia (47.2%) followed by eclampsia (23%). At the first minute, 35.68% of newborns had an APGAR score of less than 7 and the fifth 25.5% had a score of less than 7. Fetal morbidity was dominated by fetal hypotrophy (30.19%), followed by prematurity (23.92%). In 90.90% of hypotrophy, there are 85.24% of premature babies, 95.55% of SFA, and 80% of MIU; the serum uric acid was greater than 350 mmol. We recorded 204 children born with mothgers with proteinuria greater than or equal to 30 mg/dl, or 80% of children. 30 cases of MFIU and 7 cases of neonatal death out of 255 births, that is 14.50% were noted. Conclusion: The detection of risk factors by a good prenatal follow-up and the regular training of the care providers for adequate and multidisciplinary care (obstetrician, intensive care nephrologist and pediatrician) of hypertensive pregnant women and their newborns can improve the maternal prognosis and fetal.
Highlights
Hypertension in pregnancy is defined as systolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 140 mm/Hg and/or diastolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 90 mm/Hg in two (2) consecutive visits separated by at least 4 hours in a woman resting for 10 to 15 minutes in a sitting position in left lateral decubitus [1].The WHO estimates that 150,000 pregnant women die each year worldwide as a result of the complications of pregnancy-induced hypertension, most of them following an eclampsia crisis [2].The frequency of arterial hypertension during pregnancy varies from country to country; according to WHO this frequency varies between 0.1% and 31.4% of pregnancies [2]

Summary
The frequency of arterial hypertension during pregnancy varies from country to country; according to WHO this frequency varies between 0.1% and 31.4% of pregnancies [2]. In sub-Saharan Africa we only have hospital statistics: in Madagascar 11% [6]; in Morocco 7, 94% [7]; in Niger 7% [8]; in Senegal 3, 9% [9] and Côte d’Ivoire 4, 6% [10]. In Guinea, this frequency varies from one hospital structure to another. The objectives of this work were to calculate the frequency of arterial hypertension during pregnancy, describe the epidemiological profile, identify the most common type of hypertension and establish the maternal and fetal prognosis [13]
