Abstract	Background: Pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) is a dangerous condition that can arise during pregnancy and has been associated with a number of negative outcomes for both the mother and the fetus. According to estimates from the World Health Organization, the effects of hypertensive diseases during pregnancy claim the lives of at least one woman every seven minutes. Examining pregnancy-induced hypertension and associated risk factors in women receiving prenatal treatment at Jalalabad Hospital is the aim of this study. Method: During two months, from October 1 to November 30, 2023, a cross-sectional survey was conducted in the maternity hospitals located in Jalalabad. The hospital provided a proportionate amount of the total sample size (620). Using a systematic sampling procedure, study participants were chosen. A p-value of less than 0.05 was deemed statistically noteworthy. Result: Out of a total of 620 pregnant women, only 8% (50/620) of pregnant women had Hypertensive Disorders in Pregnancy (HDP). The average age of the respondent who visited outpatient department of a maternity hospital in Jalalabad was 27.5± 2 years with the majority 42% in years 25-30. The findings from our study indicate that hypertensive disorder in pregnancy has a significant relationship with risk factors such as increasing maternal age (p<0.041), body mass index (BMI) (P<0.007), and family history of hypertension in pregnancy (p<0.026). Whereas other risk factors assessed in our study had no significant association with HDP. Conclusion: The findings of our study highlight the importance of factors including obesity, advancing pregnancy age, and a family history of hypertension as risk factors for HDP. It also emphasizes the necessity of appropriate preconceptional counseling, regular ANC monitoring, and HDP treatment in order to minimize morbidity and death associated with this condition.
