1 OBJECTIVE: To determine the changes in serum iron levels, if any, as a biochemical marker of pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH). Iron pregnancy-induced hypertension (pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, toxemia of pregnancy included) Homo sapiens
2 RESULTS: Subjects with PIH were found to have higher serum iron levels at diagnosis of PIH (recruitment value) and at termination of pregnancy than the controls (P < 0.001). Iron pregnancy-induced hypertension (pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, toxemia of pregnancy included) Homo sapiens
3 RESULTS: Subjects with PIH were found to have higher serum iron levels at diagnosis of PIH (recruitment value) and at termination of pregnancy than the controls (P < 0.001). Iron pregnancy-induced hypertension (pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, toxemia of pregnancy included) Homo sapiens
4 Serum iron levels in the PIH subjects decreased markedly in the postpartum period simultaneously with the clinical recovery from PIH. Iron pregnancy-induced hypertension (pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, toxemia of pregnancy included) Homo sapiens
5 Serum iron levels in the PIH subjects decreased markedly in the postpartum period simultaneously with the clinical recovery from PIH. Iron pregnancy-induced hypertension (pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, toxemia of pregnancy included) Homo sapiens
6 Serum iron values of > or = 110 micrograms/dl was found to differentiate PIH from normotensive pregnancies with a sensitivity and specificity of 89% and 90%, respectively. Iron pregnancy-induced hypertension (pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, toxemia of pregnancy included) Homo sapiens
7 CONCLUSIONS: Changes in serum iron levels correlated with the clinical course of PIH and appeared to be a uniform and specific biochemical marker of PIH although its correlation with the severity of PIH was found to be poor. Iron pregnancy-induced hypertension (pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, toxemia of pregnancy included) Homo sapiens

Iron pregnancy-induced hypertension (pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, toxemia of pregnancy included) Homo sapiens
