Abstract:Objective To explore the effects of nifedipine sustained-release tablets combined with labetalol on blood pressure levels, leucine arylamidase (LAP), and adiponectin (APN) in patients with hypertension during pregnancy.Methods From March 2021 to March 2024, 120 patients with hypertension during pregnancy admitted to our hospital were selected. Using the envelope drawing method, they were randomly divided into a single treatment group (n = 60) and a combined treatment group (n = 60). The single treatment group received labetalol alone, while the combined treatment group received both nifedipine sustained-release tablets and labetalol. The therapeutic effects, blood pressure levels, laboratory indicators, umbilical artery blood flow parameters, and adverse pregnancy outcomes before and after treatment were compared.Results The therapeutic efficacy in the combined treatment group was higher than that in the single-treatment group (P < 0.05). After treatment, the systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in the combined group were lower than those in the single-treatment group (P < 0.05); the differences in SBP and DBP before and after treatment were significantly greater in the combined group (P < 0.05). After treatment, the level of homocysteine (Hcy) in the combined group was lower than that in the single-treatment group, while levels of LAP and APN were higher (P < 0.05); the pre- and post-treatment differences in Hcy, LAP, and APN were also significantly greater in the combined group (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the resistance index (RI), pulsatility index (PI), and the systolic/diastolic blood flow velocity ratio (S/D) in the combined group were lower than those in the single-treatment group after treatment (P < 0.05); the differences in RI, PI, and S/D before and after treatment were significantly greater in the combined group (P < 0.05). The comparison of the incidence rates of adverse pregnancy outcomes between the two groups showed no statistically significant differences (P >0.05).Conclusion The combination of nifedipine sustained-release tablets and labetalol has significant effects on blood pressure levels, LAP, and APN in patients with hypertension during pregnancy.
