Preeclampsia and eclampsia are pregnancy specific syndromes. Vitamin D is one of the pathological factors of this syndrome. The aim of this study was to compare the serum levels of vitamin D in pregnant women with preeclampsia or eclampsia with healthy pregnant women.
In a cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study, 50 pregnant women with preeclampsia or eclampsia and 50 healthy individuals were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, and after taking blood sampling, serum vitamin D levels were measured using a commercial kit and ELISA. Statistical analysis was done by SPSS: 20. P <0.05 was considered as significant difference.
The mean serum vitamin D in pregnant women with preeclampsia or eclampsia was lower than the healthy group (P = 0.002). Also, 38% and 2% of pregnant women with preeclampsia or eclampsia and healthy had severe vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D deficiency was more common in pregnant women over 30 years of age and BMI over 25, education less than a diploma, a housewife, and a gestational age of less than 34 weeks.
The results indicate that most pregnant women with preeclampsia and eclampsia syndrome are deficient in vitamin D, which affect in the development of preeclampsia or eclampsia. Therefore, timely screening and treatment of vitamin D deficiency can probably prevent preeclampsia or eclampsia and promote the quality of pregnancy.
