Determine if there is a relation between the liver enzymes in blood and the congitive capacity in pregnancy high blood pressure diseases.
The high measurements of liver enzymes on the blood is a criteria for the diagnosis in preeclampsia. There is a relation between the cognitive capacity in liver diseases, but it hasn´t been studied if there is a relation among liver damage and congitive capacity in pregnancy high blood pressure diseases.   

Prospective study of patients with preeclampsia and eclampsia that entered the Gynecology and Obstetrics department of the Hospital Universitario “Dr. José E. González” during November 2018 and August 2019. MoCA and MMSE were made to evaluate cognitive capacity, and blood tests within the first 48 hours after giving birth.
52 patients were included in the study, 35 (67.3%) with the diagnose of preeclampsia, 15 (28.8%) with eclampsia, and 2 (3.8%) with HELLP syndrome, with a medium age of  23.7 ± 6.7.The medium of the liver enzymes were aspartate transaminase (AST) 42.1 ± 53.4 U/L (15.4% value major than normal), alanine transaminase (ALT) 31.7 ± 48.5 U/L (value over the normal was 9.6%), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) 202.1 ± 82.9 U/L (88.5% over the normal) and lactate deshydrogenase (LDH) 274.8 ± 241.9 U/L (38.5% over the normal levels). MoCA had 31 (59.6%) and MMSE had 17 (32.7%) with cognitive deterioration. MoCA was correlated negatively with the values of AST (r=-0.420, p=0.002) and LDH (r=-0.422, p=0.003) and the MMSE was negatively correlated with AST (r=-0.460, p=0.001) and LDH (r=-0.379, p=0.008). 
This is the first study that makes a relation between cognitive capacity and the liver damage in pregnancy high blood pressure diseases. The results shows that higher than normal levels of AST and LDH, correlate with major cognitive affection in pregnant patients with high blood pressure diseases.
