Background: Pre-eclampsia is the most common
medical complication of pregnancy associated with
increased maternal and infant mortality and morbidity.
Reduced serum calcium level are found associated with
elevated blood pressure in preeclampsia.
Objectives: To evaluate serum calcium level in pre-
eclamptic women.
Methods: This cross sectional study was carried out in
among 50 pre-eclamptic patients, aged 20 to 40 years,
and gestational age ranges from 20 to 40 weeks and
50 age and gestational age matched normotensive
pregnant women having no proteinuria. Serum calcium
was measured by Colorimetric method.
Results: The mean age and mean gestational age of
pre-eclampsia was not significantly different from
those of normotensive pregnant women (p=0.203 and
p=0.251 respectively). The mean body mass indexes
of the test patients were significantly different from
those of normotensive pregnant women (p<0.001).
The mean serum calcium level was 7.27 ± 3.01 mg/
dl in pre–eclampsia and 7.25 ± 2.59 mg/dl in normal
pregnant women; did not differ significantly between the
subjects of pre–eclampsia and normal pregnant women
(p=0.963).
Conclusion: Serum calcium has no association in
occurrence of pre–eclampsia.
