Evaluation of Maternal and Perinatal Findings in Mild and Severe Preeclampsia Cases

42105

Objective: We aimed to compare maternal and perinatal findings of mild and severe preeclampsia, also to define considerable predictive factors for early diagnosis. Material and Methods: Study included total of 124 patients that consist of 28 mild and 96 severe preeclampsia patients. 150 singleton pregnants, as a similar demographic features with preeclampsia group were added to study as control group. Age, birth weight, laboratory values and perinatal outcomes were compared between three groups. Results: Hemoglobin, maternal (free triiyodothyronin) fT3, (free thyroxine) fT4 and birth weight values were determined significantly lower in severe preeclampsia group. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT) and maternal thyroid stimulan hormone (TSH) values were determined significantly higher in severe preeclampsia compared with other two groups. Cesarean ratio were determined higher in entire preeclampsia patients and newborns of preeclampsia patients required more overhaul in newborn intensive care unit. There were no significant differences determined between three groups in white blood cell and platelet count. Conclusion: Preeclampsia is one of the most important pregnancy complication must be early diagnosed and interfered. Early diagnosis and consistent approach will produce better results for perinatal maternal morbidity and mortality.
