Abstract

To study the levels of serum magnesium in patients with preeclampsia and patients without preeclampsia in pregnant women with over 28 weeks of gestational age in order to assess the role of magnesium in etiopathogenesis of preeclampsia; To measure the levels of serum magnesium in patients with preeclampsia; To compare it with serum magnesium levels in normotensive pregnant patients after 28 weeks of gestational age; To evaluate relationship between preeclampsia and serum magnesium levels. Methods: The biochemistry department at Osmania General Hospital and Osmania Medical College in Hyderabad conducted case control research using a clinical and investigative approach over a 24-month period with 100 participants. Pregnant women receiving routine prenatal care at the Modern Government Maternity Hospital in Petlaburj, Hyderabad, Telangana, India. Results: The results of our investigation showed that serum magnesium levels are considerably lower in pre-eclamptic women. Other authors' studies also produced results that were comparable. As a result, pre-eclamptic women had lower magnesium levels. Understanding the pathophysiology of preeclampsia and developing methods for its early identification, prevention, and treatment may benefit from this link. Conclusion: Magnesium levels were decreased in pre-eclamptic women. Understanding the pathophysiology of preeclampsia and developing methods for its early identification, prevention, and treatment may benefit from this link.
