Association between Serum Ferritin and Pre-eclampsia

Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a major cause of maternal and prenatal morbidity and mortality in developing countries. PE occurs in about 6% of the general women population. It complicates about 5-15% of pregnancies over 20 weeks and is responsible for 16% of maternal mortality. Pre-delivery serum Ferritin concentration was significantly higher in patients with eclampsia than in healthy pregnant women. The serum ferritin was the best sensitive marker of the iron status parameters reflecting the preeclampsia. The aim of the study is to explore the association between serum ferritin and Preeclampsia and to do a comparison of serum ferritin to assess risk of development preeclampsia between case and control.This is a case-control study with laboratory methods. The study was carried out…
