Abstract: Hypertension during pregnancy (HDP) is one of the common and serious complications during pregnancy. Its etiology involves placental dysfunction, vascular endothelial injury, immune disorder and oxidative stress, and its pathogenesis is complex. Western medicine believes that the treatment of HDP is mainly based on drug intervention, but it has limitations and side effects. Traditional Chinese medicine, on the basis of syndrome differentiation and treatment, combines traditional Chinese medicine for internal and external use, and combines acupuncture, moxibustion and other methods to effectively improve the circulation of qi and blood and the function of internal organs. The combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine fully reflects the respective therapeutic advantages of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, and has shown significant efficacy in clinical practice. At the same time, it can effectively reduce the side effects of Western medicine treatment and improve maternal and infant safety. Through further analysis of experimental studies on the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine for the treatment of hypertension during pregnancy, the mechanism of action of Chinese medicine monomers and compounds in regulating oxidative stress, inflammatory factors and vascular function is revealed, which provides a scientific basis for the treatment of HDP by combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine. However, the integrated Chinese and Western medicine treatment model still faces challenges in the individualized treatment of HDP. In the future, multi-center large-sample clinical studies are still needed to further verify its efficacy and safety, so as to optimize the diagnosis and treatment plan and promote the widespread application of integrated Chinese and Western medicine treatment, and provide more comprehensive and effective health protection for HDP patients.
