Detailed Description
200 patients with pre-eclampsia, 100 with eclampsia and 200 normotensive pregnant controls attending Delivery/emergency department in Kasr Al Ainy hospital will be included in the study (from March 2019 till September 2019). 25(OH) D level will be measured for the three groups.
-
Preeclampsia is defined as systolic BP >140 and/or diastolic BP>90 on two occasions, 4 hours apart in pregnant females>20 weeks, plus proteinuria >/= 1+ urine dipstick protein.
-
Eclampsia defined as tonic-clonic seizures in women with pre-eclampsia.
-
Controls are normotensive pregnant females with no proteinuria and no other medical disorders.
-
The determination of 25(OH) D is based on a competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA) using the 25(OH)D3/D2 ELISA system (ORGENTIC DIAGNOSTIKA GmbH, Germany)
