The Study of Serum Calcium and Vitamin D Levels in Preeclampsia and Pregnancy Induced Hypertension
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 5
Abstract
Abstract: Recent evidences suggest a high prevalence of calcium and vitamin D deficiencies in preeclamptic women. However, level of these parameters in pregnancy induced hypertension has not been studied thoroughly. So the present study aimed to evaluate the level of serum calcium and vitamin D in preeclampsia and pregnancy induced hypertension and also to assess the comparison between both groups to determine which group possess higher deficiency. Total numbers of 60 cases were taken in the study in which 30 cases were of preeclamptic women and 30 were pregnancy induced hypertension. Fasting serum sample was taken for the analysis of calcium and vitamin D level by o-cresol Phthalene complexone method with Erba model Chem 5 plus and commercial ELISA kit. The serum calcium and vitamin D levels were found statistically significantly lower in preeclamptic women than pregnancy induced hypertension. Other anthropogenic measurements were found no difference in both groups. Low levels of serum calcium and vitamin D levels may lead to poor pregnancy outcomes i.e. from pregnancy induced hypertension to severe preeclampsia.
