Dr T. Anil Kumar, Dr B. Lakshmi Keerthana

Abstract :

 Preeclampsia is one of the most common causes of foetal morbidity and mortality during pregnancy. The present study was done to estimate the serum levels of Uric acid, Calcium, Magnesium, Urea and Creatinine in patients with mild (Group 2) and severe preeclampsia (Group 3) and compare them with healthy controls (Group 1). The study group consisted of 120 pregnant women. Of these, 50 belonged to Group 1, 40 to Group 2 and 30 to Group 3. Results showed that all parameters are increased in mild and severe preeclamptic women when compared to controls. Further, the increase is statistically highly significant (p < 0.001) in Group 3 than Group 2 for uric acid and calcium, significant (p < 0.05) for magnesium and not significant for urea and creatinine. Thus calcium, magnesium and uric acid may be used as indicators of preeclampsia.
