Abstract
Objective: Preeclampsia is most commoniy encountered problem in pregnancy. The aim of the present study was to assess the levels of beta HCG in preeclampsia and normal women without hypertension. Method: This was a prospective case control study undertaken on 25 preeclamptic patients and 25 healthy antenatal women in OB-GYN Department of Rajah Muthiah Medical College, Annamalai University between the periods of 2016-2018. Result: The mean maternal serum β-human chorionic gonadotropin levels in preeclampsia were 44463.26±30595.25miu/ml that is significantly greater than normotensives (7346.200±4479.0855 of p value< 0.001). The number of complications in the preeclampsia group are increased than the normal antenatal women group. Conclusion: Mean βhcg levels tend to be significantly more in preeclampsia than healthy pregnant mothers. The higher β hcg levels associated with more neonatal and maternal complications.
