Out of 85 cases of hydatidiform mole, 54 patients, or 63.53 per cent, had normal blood pressure and normal urinalysis.Thirty-one patients had blood pressure ranging from 130/80 to 200/100 mm. Hg. Two patients had blood pressure, respectively, of 170/120 and 180/102 mm. Hg.The duration of amenorrhea in both the normotensive and hypertensive groups ranged from 2 to 7 months.The height of the fundus uteri in the normotensive group ranged from 6 cm. above the symphysis to 2 cm. below the umbilicus except in 9 cases, or 16.66 per cent, when it reached the level of the umbilicus.The height of the fundus in all of the 31 cases in the hypertensive group was at or above the level of the umbilicus.Ten of the 31 patients with hypertension also had albuminuria, cylindruria, and red blood cells in the urine. In 3 of these cases there was also edema of the lower extremities.Two of the patients with edema, albuminuria, and cylindruria died. They had no convulsions but autopsy showed the liver lesions of eclampsia. One of them showed also cerebellar hemorrhage.There was no correlation between the duration of amenorrhea and hypertension. There was a correlation, however, between the hypertension and the height of the fundus uteri.
