Abstract
Background: A condition in pregnancy characterized by abrupt hypertension, albuminuria and edema of the hands, feet, and face. Pre-eclampsia is the most common complication of pregnancy. Aim and Objective: To study the relationship between serum calcium level and severity of pre eclampsia in pregnant women. Methodology: 100 diagnosed cases of pre eclampsia in age range of 18-35 years were selected as group 1 that is cases and 100 normal healthy age matched pregnant women were selected as group2. Data was collected with pre tested questionnaire. Patients were investigated with serum calcium. Results and Discussion: Mean BMI, gestational age, systolic and diastolic blood pressure were significantly different in both the groups. Mean serum calcium in Group (preeclamptic patients) was significantly lower than group 2 (normal healthy patient) (p<0.05). Serum calcium level showed declining trend as severity of preeclampsia increases.
