Preeklampside serum Troponin I düzeyinin değerlendirilmesi

Objective: To investigate the troponin I (cTnI) levels in preeclamptic women, compare with the values of healthy pregnant women and also to evaluate whether the association between troponin I levels with severity of preeclampsia.Methods: This study was performed with 83 preeclamptic pregnant women and 40 pregnant women control group having no medical problems who has admitted to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics of Dicle University Medical Faculty between February 2009 and July 2009. Serum troponin I levels were measured and compared between two groups.Results: There was no correlation between serum cTnI levels with hemoglobin, hematocrit age, BMI, platelet count, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, ALT, AST, LDH, urea and creatinine. There was no significant differences between the groups in preeclampsia and healthy pregnant women when compared in terms of Troponin I levels (p = 0.501) Conclusion: Preeclampsia was not associated with troponin I levels in our study. So patients with preeclampsia and elevated troponin levels should have further cardiac investigations and close cardiovascular follow-up
