| Popis: | BACKGROUND: Preeclampsia and eclampsia are the most leading cause of maternal mortality in developing countries like ours. The aim of our study is to find out the relation between platelet indices and platelet counts with preeclampsia and eclampsia and their significance as prognostic indicator. MATERIALS AND METHOD: 82 cases of preeclampsia and 63 cases of eclampsia diagnosed between September 2010 to December 2013 were evaluated prospectively. One hundred healthy pregnant women with similar demographic features and gestational age without diagnosis of preeclampsia were included in the study of control group. Blood samples were analyzed by automated hematology analyzer. The platelet count, mean platelet volume and platelet distribution width were compared. RESULTS: The platelet counts were lower while mean platelet volume, platelet distribution width were increased in preeclampsia and eclampsia as compared to control group. CONCLUSION: We found an association between platelet indices and severity of preeclampsia. The estimation of platelet indices can be considered as an early, simple and rapid procedure in the assessment of severity of preeclampsia and eclampsia which can be used as a prognostic marker. |
