RESUMEN
Serum protein level in the three trimesters of pregnancy and the impact of parity and dietary protein on it were studied in 154 pregnant women. The mean total serum protein during first, second and third trimesters were found to be 6.85, 6.60 and 6.81 gm% respectively whick were lower than the mean value obtained in a group of nonpregnant women (7.55 gm%). The level of serum protein depends on intake of dietary protein and influenced by parity in pregnant women. While primigravidae with adequate protein intake had higher serum protein level than primigravidae with inadequate protein consumption, multigravidae with adequate protein intake had lower serum protein level than primigravidae with adequate protein intake.
