| Popis: | Objective: To estimate the levels of zinc and copper in the cases of preeclampsia. To know the importance of the same in pregnancy. Materials and Methods: 30 preeclamptic cases and 30 pregnant women with normal blood pressure were estimated for serum zinc and copper levels. Results: The levels of the trace elements, zinc and copper were found to be decreased in preeclamptic pregnancy when compared to the normal pregnancy without complications. Conclusion: The decreased levels of zinc and copper in preeclampsia might be responsible for the complications in pregnancy as well as post-pregnancy complications. Keywords: Zinc, Copper, Preeclampsia, Pregnancy. |
