Role of serum ferroxidase activity of ceruloplasmin in preeclampsia
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Biochemistry - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Aim: To assess the role of ferroxidase activity of ceruloplasmin in women with preeclampsia. Materials and Methods: This study comprised of 40 preeclamptic cases and 40 age matched controls without having preeclampsia. Results: Mean serum ferroxidase activity of ceruloplasmin levels were lower in cases (336.4 ± 134.7 mg/l) as compared to controls (504.6±184.8mg/l) (P<0.001) which is statistically significant. Conclusion: The study revealed that decreased ferroxidase activity of ceruloplasmin level is strongly associated with the occurrence of Preeclampsia
