Profiling Coagulation for Preeclampsia and Eclampsia

Abstract

Study of Coagulation profile in preeclampsia and eclampsia comprised of 258 cases which were categorized as preeclampsia, eclampsia and control group with 86 cases in each group. A total number of 258 patients were studied which were categorized as the control group, preeclampsia group and eclampsia group with 86 cases in each. Preeclampsia was further classified as mild preeclampsia (48/86) and severe preeclampsia (38/86). Among all patients, thrombocytopenia was found in 61% of patients. All patients in the control group had platelet counts within the normal range. The method used in the present study is an analytical case-control study, carried out in the Department of Pathology in our institute. Our study includes cases of preeclampsia and eclampsia coming to the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology during the period of two years from May 2015 to April 2017. Newly diagnosed Preeclampsia and eclampsia patients in the third trimester of age 18 to 30 years. From this study, it can be concluded that coagulation profile can help to assess the severity of preeclampsia and eclampsia and thus can help to reduce complications if treated early. Thus as inconclusive of this study of coagulation profile has significant value and impact on management and outcome of cases of preeclampsia and eclampsia.
