Evaluation of serum calcium and serum magnesium in preeclampsia patients
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Biochemistry - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
Aims and objective: Evaluation of serum calcium and serum magnesium status in preeclampsia patients. Material and methods: Study was conducted in Department of Biochemistry, in tertiary care centre, Mumbai. In this case-control study serum calcium and serum magnesium status was investigated in two groups: one with newly diagnosed cases of preeclampsia PE (n = 50) and the other of healthy primigravida as controls (n = 50) of same gestational age. Data was analyzed by Students Unpaired t test. Results demonstrated that difference for serum calcium between cases (mean 8.71 ± 0.57 mg/dl) and controls (mean 8.78 ± 0.28 mg/dl) was not significant. Difference for serum magnesium between cases (mean 2.02 ± 0.36 mg/dl) and controls (mean 2.01 ± 0.15 mg/dl) was also not significant. Differences for both parameters were not statistically significant (P value >0.05). Conclusion- we do not found significant difference in the Serum calcium and serum magnesium status in preeclampsia patients and normotensive controls.
