Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-specific syndrome of reduced organ perfusionsecondary to vasospasm and endothelial activation which is typically characterized by hypertension, proteinuria, edema and fetal compromise which is a leading cause of intra uterine growth restriction (IUGR). Elevated nucleated red blood cell (NRBC) count is introduced as a potential marker of intra-uterine growth restriction (IUGR) hence determination of NRBC counts is essentially helpful in predicting short term neurodevelopment outcome. Objective of the study Elevated nucleated red blood cell (NRBC) count is introduced as a potential marker of intra-uterine growth restriction (IUGR) in term babies born to preeclamptic mothers
