What is Estimation Of Serum Calcium And Magnesium In Preeclampsia And Eclampsia about?

## BACKGROUND How pregnancy incites or aggravates hypertension remains unsolved despite decades of intensive research. The levels of calcium and magnesium in pregnancy may implicate their possible role in preeclampsia and eclampsia. ## OBJECTIVE In this study, serum levels of calcium and magnesium were evaluated in preeclampsia and eclampsia women compared to normal pregnancy. ## METHODOLOGY A total of 200 subjects were involved in the study. Group A consisting of 100 normotensive pregnant women and Group B consisting of 50 preeclampsia and 50 eclampsia patients. Data were gathered using a structured proforma. Venous blood samples were drawn for the estimation of calcium and magnesium. ## Results Women with Group B (Preeclampsia and eclampsia) had significantly lower serum calcium and magnesium levels than those in the control group (p < 0.0001 each). Also, these mineral levels were significantly decreased in eclampsia compared to preeclampsia. Two maternal deaths were recorded in eclamptic women. There were 73% live births, 9% still births and 18% neonatal deaths in preeclampsia and eclampsia groups. Both calcium and magnesium levels are significantly decreased in those patients w
