Online published on 21 March, 2015. Abstract Background It has been suggested that there is an association between calcium intake and pregnancyinduced hypertension (PIH). The present study concentrate to get significant association of serum calcium levels with pre-eclampsia. Material and Methods 80 Patients diagnosed as having Pre-eclampsia and 80 controls with similar age group were studied after taking their consent. Blood samples were collected under aseptic precautions in plain vacutainer for serum total calcium estimations. Total calcium estimation was done by Arsenazo III end point method on Fully Automated Biochemistry Analyzer Miura 300. Results The observed mean serum calcium level in preeclampsia patients was 7.09± 0.37 mg/dl as compared to 7.91±0.911 mg/dl in controls. Conclusion Low serum calcium levels could be a useful indicator of the maternal and fetal complication in hypertensive patients. Top | |
