Estimation of Platelet Count As A Prognostic Marker for Feto- Maternal Outcome in Preeclampsia & Eclampsia
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 9
Abstract
Introduction: Preeclampsia and eclampsia contribute greatly to the maternal morbidity and mortality.Thrombocytopenia is the most common hematological abnormality of all that occur in preeclampsia, and the frequency of maternal thrombocytopenia is dependent on the intensity of the disease process and duration of preeclampsia syndrome. Material and methods: A hospital based observational study was conducted which included 150 normotensive pregnant females as controls and 150 cases of preeclampsia of varying severity (mild preeclampsia, severe preeclampsia and eclampsia). Study subjects were studied with Haemoglobin, Bleeding time, Clotting time and Platelet count and feto-maternal outcome was compared between both study groups. Results: Platelet Count was found to be significantly lower in preeclampsia cases as compared to control group. The feto-maternal outcome was observed to be poor in thrombocytopenic cases as compared to their normal platelet count counterpart subjects. Conclusion: Thrombocytopenia correlates well with the disease severity and poor perinatal and maternal outcome in patients of preeclampsia syndrome. Platelet count being a low cost, rapid and easily available investigation, hence can be used as a tool for screening the patients for prediction of disease severity and clinical outcome.
