Evaluate the Mean Serum Calcium Levels in Pregnant Women with Pregnancy Induced Hypertension and Compare with Normotensive Pregnant Women

Abstract

Objective: To examine the mean serum Ca levels in pregnant women presented with pregnancy induced hypertension and compare with normotensive pregnant women.

Study Design: Case control study.

Place and Duration: Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, M. Islam Teaching Hospital Gujranwala from January 2019 to June 2019.

Materials and Methods: 200 pregnant women were enrolled. All women were equally divided into two groups. Group A comprised of 100 women with pregnancy induced hypertension and Group B with normal pregnancy was control group. Mean serum Ca level was examined and compare the findings between both groups.

Results: In group A mean age was 28.12±3.21 years and 26.43±4.12 years in Group B. The imean iserum iCalcium ilevels iin ipregnant iwomen iconvoluted iwith ipregnancy iinduced ihypertension with normotensive pregnant women was 7.86±0.39 mg/dl in Group A and 8.93±1.14 mg/dl in Group B (P<0.001).

Conclusion: It is concluded that mean serum Ca level was significantly lower in women iwith ipregnancy iinduced ihypertension as compared to women with normal pregnancy.
