The objective of this study consists in analyze the pregnancy complications from the evaluation of laboratory tests. This is a descriptive, retrospective documentary and quantitative approach to the analysis of perinatal records and records of all pregnant women who underwent laboratory examinations by PHPN and had uneventful gestational period in 2008 to 2012 in the FHS José Maria de Jesus in the city of Cajazeiras - PB. Data were collected in August 2013, tabulated and analyzed according to the literature. The study followed the ethical and legal principles. The results of laboratory tests with the highest percentage change was hb / ht with 66% (f = 96), followed by urinalysis with 23% (f = 34), fasting glucose with 7% (f = 10), and 1% (f = 01) to each of the following serological tests: toxoplasmosis, HBsAg, VDRL, as well as HIV testing and blood group / Rh factor. The complications had the same percentage, concomitant to test results, where the anemia had the highest incidence, followed by urinary tract infection and diabetes mellitus.Given the above, it is concluded that iron deficiency anemia remains a serious public health problem, especially in developing countries, and that laboratory tests are of paramount importance for the monitoring of prenatal care.
