Evaluation of biochemical parameters in Iraqi women patients with preeclampsia

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate some biochemical parameters in Iraqi women patients with preeclampsia (PE). Methodology: In this study, data were collected from December 2022 and March 2023 at Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Al-Elwiya Maternity Teaching Hospital from 31 pregnant women with PE. We had 31 pregnant women in the control group who were healthy. Age, gestational age, BMI, and renal function tests are performed. Results: There was no difference in age, and gestational age (weeks), between PE women and the control group. Serum total bilirubin, creatinine, and urea levels were all considerably higher in PE than in the control group. There were no statistically significant differences in serum albumin and total protein levels, although the SBP and DBP from PE patients were significantly higher than those of the control group. Conclusion: Pregnant women should be evaluated because elevated serum levels of total bilirubin, creatinine, and urea may signal the onset of preeclampsia. The best biochemical test for diagnosing preeclampsia was serum creatinine level.
