Abstract
Background: The purpose of this study is to compare mean serum calcium levels of pre-eclamptic and normotensive pregnant women. Methods: The prospective study was conducted on 60 cases of antenatal patients in the third trimester (28-40 weeks of gestation) having age between 18-40 years. All selected cases will be divided into two groups: Cases (30 patients of hypertensive disorder in pregnancy). Control (30 normotensive patients). Results: Both groups were comparable. Significant decrease in the level of serum calcium in the preeclamptic women (8.12±0.43 mg/dl) when compared with the normal pregnant women (9.12±0.51 mg/dl). Conclusion: These findings support the hypothesis that hypocalcaemia are possible etiologies of preeclampsia.
