Abstract
The present study aims to find significant association of serum calcium and serum uric acid levels in women with preeclampsia. METHOD: Fifty (50) preeclamptic women (cases) and forty (40) normal pregnant women (controls) were included in the study to compare serum calcium and serum uric acid levels among them. RESULTS: The serum calcium level in preeclamptic women was significantly lower with 7.74 + 0.84 mg/dL when compared to normal pregnant women with 9.35 + 0.83 mg/dL with a statistically significant 'p' value of < 0.001. The serum uric acid in preeclamptic women was significantly higher with 6.22+ 0.62 mg/dL when compared to healthy pregnant women with 4.26 + 0.85 mg/dL with a statistically significant 'p' value of <0.001.CONCLUSION:Hypocalcemia and hyperuricemia are associated with preeclampsia. Keywords - Serum calcium, serum uric acid, preeclampsia.
