Abstract
Preeclampsia (PE) affects up to 7% of all pregnancies and is an important factor of maternal morbidity and mortality. The clinical manifestations of PE appear in the second to third
trimester and including: headache, blurry vision, epigastric pain,and edema. It may be complicated with some degree of renal failure and the worst cases with seizures.Recent studies have indicated the involvement of hemoglobininduced oxidative stress in the development of preeclampsia. The oxidative stress may damage the placental barrier, leading to leakage of free fetal hemoglobin into the maternal circulation and eventually causes elevated levels in the serum.
Several studies have proved that the fetal hemoglobin is an important biochemical marker for prediction and diagnosis of preeclampsia. The aim of our study is to correlate between the level of maternal serum fatal hemoglobin and the severity of preeclampsia.
