Association Of Serum Lactate Concentration With Severity Of Preeclampsia And Maternal Complications: An Observational Study

Abstract

Introduction Despite development of various prediction models, pre-eclampsia continues to be a major contributor to maternal mortality and morbidity. Assuming that raised serum lactate is a marker of tissue hypoperfusion and hypoxia as associated with preeclampsia, it can be used as a successful biomarker in prediction of maternal complications and aid in successful management of preeclampsia and thus improve maternal and perinatal outcome. Aims & Objectives · To evaluate the association of serum lactate concentration with severity of preeclampsia and maternal complications.
