Pre-eclampsia,a hypertensive multisystem disorder is one of the major causes of maternal morbidity and mortality. The exact aetiology is still unknown, though numerous hypotheses have been put forward. Studies have found that low serum calcium level may be associated with development of pre-eclampsia. The aim of this study was to find the association between serum calcium level and pre-eclampsia by comparing the serum calcium levels in pre-eclamptic women with that of normal pregnant ladies. Our findings in this study indicate that pre-eclamptic women had a significantly lower serum calcium level than normal pregnant women (p<0.01) and creatinine level was found to be higher in preeclamptics. (p<0.01) This study concludes that low serum calcium level may be a causal factor for the development of pre-eclampsia. So, intake of mineral supplements like calcium may reduce the incidence of pre-eclampsia.
