Objective: To measure serum concentrations of vitamin D in pre-eclamptic gestated women and to compare them with their healthy counterparts.

Subjects and methods: After the 20th week of gestation, a prospective case control research was done on 100 gestating women: 50 gestating women with preeclampsia and 50 gestating women without preeclampsia (controls). Subjects whom were selected to assess total 25-OH vitamin D using …

It complicates 2% to 8% of pregnancies and is a significant source of maternal and neonatal illness and death. Eclampsia, diffuse intravascular coagulation, and the HELLP syndrome are among the side effects of PE. Fetal death and IUGR are risks to the fetus. Clinical research has linked low vitamin D levels to unfavorable pregnancy results because vitamin D is crucial throughout pregnancy. Aim: The study's objective is to assess the impact of …
