Abstract
Introduction: Preeclampsia thrombocytopenia (PIH) is defined as hypertension (HTN) that occurs in pregnancy for the first time after 20 weeks of gestation, disappearing following delivery of the baby. PIH is the most common medical disorder of pregnancy that leads to a complicated multi-organ failure in the mother. It is one of the most common causes of both maternal and neonatal morbidity. It is a global problem and complicates approximately 10-17% of pregnancies. The incidence of PIH in India ranges from 5% to 15%. Hemorrhage occupies is an important factor in the etiology of maternal mortality and therefore, remains a major problem Aims and Objectives: To study of Role of Thrombocytopenia in Predicting the Severity of Preeclampsia Methodology: It was case control study 192 cases of preeclampsia and eclampsia and 90 controls all the patients who given consent were included into the study. Result: the severity of the preeclampsia and eclampsia increases the there is significantly decrease in the platelet count while there is decrease in hemoglobin count is there but it is not statistically significant, similiarly there is increase in BT and CT but it is not statistically significant (p<0.05) There is significant association between decrease in platelet count and unfavorable maternal outcome (χ2 = 48.106, p<0.05.). It is clear that there is significant association between decrease in platelet count and unfavorable Fetal Outcome (χ2 = 10.47, p<0.05) Conclusion: Thrombocytopenia can be used as Predictor the Severity of Preeclampsia and eclampsia and maternal and fetal out comes
