Platelet count and platelet indices In pregnancy with preeclampsia and Eclampsia – a prospective Observational study

Abstract

Introduction - Detecting pregnant women at higher risk of preeclampsia is a crucial objective in modern obstetrics. Developing a test that is sensitive, specific, costeffective, and easy to administer would not only enable the identification of women prone to preeclampsia but also facilitate close monitoring, accurate diagnosis, and timely intervention. Although the exact pathophysiology of preeclampsia is not completely understood, the utility of different platelet indices can be utilized to predict preeclampsia. Aims and objective – To study the association of platelet count and platelet indices in pregnancy with preeclampsia and Eclampsia.
