The Comparison of Total protein,Albumin and Phosphorus Level in Preeclamptic Pregnant Women and Women with Normal Pregnancy

Abstract

Introduction:preeclampsia has remained one of the important obstetrical problems for which different factors have been suggested.decrease of serum levels of albumin,total protein and phosphorous have been suggested in the pathophysiology of precclampsia.the aim of this study was to determine serum levels of albumin,total protein and phosphorous in normal pregnancy and preeclamptic woman.

Method:In this case-control study,100pregnant woman aged 20 to 30 years with the gestational age of 28 to 40 weeks were studied.patients were divided into two groups:50 women as case group (preec lamsia)and 50 women as control group(normal pregnancy).the serum levels of albumin,total protein and phosphorous were measured in both groups.

Results:There were no significant difference between two groups in demographic factors and mean maternal age but duration of pregnancy was significantly difference in the two groups(36.29+3.2 weeks in case group and 38.19+2.5 in control group)(p<0.0001).the mean systolic blood pressurse and body mass index were significantly different in both groups(p<0.0001).the mean systolic blood pressure in preeclamptic women was 149.8+13.39 and in normal group was 108.7+9.73 and the mean diastolic blood pressure in preeclamptic women and in normal pregnants was 21.21+2.09.there was no significant difference between the two groups in mean serum levels of albumin,total protein and phosphorous.serum level of total protein was 5.9+1 and 6.03+0.92 and serum phosphorous was 3.53+0.68 and 3.35+0.82 in preeclamptics and normals erspectively. Conclusions:There was no significant relationship serum between levels of albumin,total protrin and phosphorous and preeclampsia.
