Abstract
Introduction Hypertension disorders are major factors responsible for morbidity and mortality in pregnancy and preeclampsia is the leading cause The etiopathology of PE is not known even after significant research done on it Only thing which we can do is try to reduce the incidence and severity by predicting its occurrence In our study we are trying to know the effect of serum calcium and serum magnesium on preeclampsiaMaterials and Methods Total 256 pregnant patients attending DY Patil hospital were included in our study They were divided into two groups namely normotensive and hypertensive The diagnosis of Preeclampsia was made by standard protocol inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied for selection of case after permission from ethical committee of the institution and consent of the patients In them we estimated serum calcium and serum magnesium levels and the correlation of these levels was studied with the preeclampsia related factorsResults Both groups comparable in terms of age gravida parity high risk factors BMI The data was analysed by application of statistical test of significanceConclusion Our study shows that low levels of calcium and magnesium are found in serum of preeclampsia patients as compared to normotensive cases of the study population Also since calcium deficiency plays role in aetiology of preeclampsia antenatal administration of Ca supplements was done and its effect was studied to find out whether it is useful in reducing the severity of PEKeywords Hypertensive disorder in pregnancy Preeclampsia S calcium S magnesium
