Author(s): Anil Gamit, Himanshu Patel and Utsav Parmar
Background: Preeclampsia is clinically defined by hypertension and proteinuria, with or without pathological edema. Preeclampsia is a multisystem disorder that complicates about 4%-18% of pregnancies in developing nations and constitutes a major source of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Preeclampsia may be life-threatening for both mother and child, increasing both fetal and maternal morbidity and mortality. About 10%-15% of maternal deaths are directly associated with preeclampsia. Objective: To compare the changes in the level of serum calcium, serum magnesium, and serum electrolytes in patients with preeclampsia and normal pregnant women. Material and Method: Serum calcium, serum magnesium, and serum electrolytes were estimated in 50 cases of preeclampsia and 50 controls of normal pregnant women. 5 ml of blood was collected with clot activator vaccutte and assayed on Micro lab R..
