ABSTRACT
The aim of the study is to compare and contrast serum iron status in pre eclamptic women with normal pregnant women which may help in the establishment of diagnosis of pre eclampsia before appearance of its clinical manifestation. A total of 82 women in the last half of pregnancy, between 17 to 40 years of age, who attended the model family planning clinic, out patient and in patient departments of Obstetrics and Gynecology unit of Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Mymensingh were selected for this purpose before any treatment was given in present pregnancy. Out of them 32 pregnant women were taken as control because they did not show any evidence of complication during the time of selection and 50 pregnant women were randomly selected as cases on the basic of having pre eclampsia. Mean value of serum iron was significantly increased in the pre eclamptic women in comparison to controls whereas mean values of both total iron binding capacity (TIBC) and unsaturated iron binding capacity (UIBC) were significantly decreased in pre eclamptic women in contrast to controls. The results allude to the possible contribution of released iron free radicals from ischaemic placenta in pre eclampsia to its etiology. So, routine investigation of serum iron status of pregnant women as part of antenatal checkup may help in the establishment of diagnosis of pre eclampsia before appearance of its clinical manifestation.
