Aim and Objective: To study the relationship between serum calcium level and severity of pre eclampsia in pregnant women. Methodology: 100 diagnosed cases of pre eclampsia in age range of 18-35 years were selected as group 1 that is cases and 100 normal healthy age matched pregnant women were selected as group2. Data was collected with pre tested questionnaire. Patients were investigated with serum calcium. Results and Discussion: Mean BMI, gestational age, systolic and diastolic blood pressure were significantly different in both the groups.
