Abstract
BACKGROUND: The assessment of coagulation parameters in patients with eclampsia or pre eclampsia may be important to help diagnose the severity of the disease and predict the outcome. AIM: To study coagulation prole changes in severe preeclampsia and eclampsia and its relation to the fetomaternal outcome. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Coagulation parameters which consisted of BT, CT, Platelet Count, PT, aPTT and D-dimer levels were done in 150 women with severe preeclampsia or eclampsia. RESULTS: There was a statistically signicant association between platelet count, d-dimer levels and severity of preeclampsia. There was also signicant association of coagulation parameters with maternal outcomes. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION: The coagulation parameters, especially Platelet count and d-dimer can be used as early indicators for the assessment of severity of cases with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy
