Role of Serum Calcium Level in Pregnancy Induced Hypertension
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Reports have proposed an association between serum calcium level and preeclampsia. The Aims and objective was to measure the level of serum calcium level in antenatal women and to evaluate its role in pregnancy induced hypertension. The study was done for one year at Deptt of Obstetrics & Gynecology, GR Medical College, and Gwalior including 100 antenatal patients in their third trimester of pregnancy. All the included patients were divided into two groups: Cases (50 patients of pregnancy induced hypertension) and Control (50 normotensive patients). Serum calcium was estimated in the Department of Biochemistry and correlated to pregnancy induced hypertension. In Results the Mean serum calcium level in normotensive, mild PIH and severe PIH patients was 9.64±0.77 mg%, 9.18±0.83 mg% and 8.45±0.58 mg% respectively (p<0.05). There was a negative correlation of serum calcium level with mild and severe pregnancy induced hypertension (p<0.05). In Conclusion the Decreased level of serum calcium can be an etiological factor of PIH and can be a predictor of different fetal and maternal complications in women with preeclampsia. Keywords: calcium, pregnancy induced hypertension, antenatal patients.
