Abstract

Background: The present study was conducted with an aim to Study the relevant Laboratory investigations in cases of Pre-eclampsia of in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Index Medical College Hospital & Research Centre, Indore M.P. Result: From the observation Table No. 1 it is clear that platelet count was < 1 Lac /cu mm in 14.07% of mild pre-eclampsia, 72% of severe pre-eclampsia and 75% of eclampsia patients. From the observation Table No.2 it is clear that total bilirubin was > 1.2 mg/dl in 4.68% of mild pre-eclampsia, 30% of severe pre-eclampsia and 34.37% of eclampsia patients.From the observation Table No.3 it is clear that SGOT was > 72 IU/L in 1.57% of mild pre-eclampsia, 14% of severe pre-eclampsia and 21.88% of eclampsia patients. From the observation Table No.4 it is clear that SGPT was > 72 IU/L in 3.13% of mild pre-eclampsia, 12% of severe pre-eclampsia and 18.75% of eclampsia patients. Conclusion: Platelet count was found to be <1 lac / cumm in significant number of severe pre-eclampsia and eclampsia patients in comparison to control group. Hyperbilirubinemia was seen in small groups of pre-eclampsia and eclampsia patients. Deranged liver enzyme levels were also found in small group of pre-eclampsia and eclampsia patients. Deranged coagulation profile was also seen a small group of pre-eclampsia and eclampsia patients but not found significant.
