Dr. Kusum

Background: This study was conducted to assess Serum LDH Levels in Normotensive and Preeclamptic-Eclamptic Pregnant Women. Material and methods: In this study, there were 100 women who were divided into two groups of 50 each with group 1 comprising of 50 normotensive pregnant women and group 2 comprising of 50 preeclamptic-eclamptic pregnant women. The women were informed about the procedure and were asked to give consent. Those who were willing to take part in the study and were ready to give consent had been included in the study while those who were unwilling to participate or give consent had been excluded from the study. Serum LDH levels had been measured in women among both the groups. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS software. Results: In this study, there were 100 women who were divided into two groups of 50 each with group 1 comprising of 50 normotensive pregnant women and group 2 comprising of 50 preeclamptic-eclamptic pregnant women. Mean serum LDH levels in women of group 1 were352.7 ± 101 IU/L and mean serum LDH levels in women of group 2 were 844.9 ± 565 IU/L. Conclusion: The serum LDH levels among normotensive pregnant women were far too low as compared to the serum LDH levels of preeclamptic-eclamptic pregnant women.
