Abstract
Background; After twenty weeks of pregnancy, preeclampsia, a multisystem illness particular to pregnancy, develops and is characterised by hypertension and proteinuria with or without body edoema, resolving by 6-12 weeks postpartum in previous normotensive women, Aim and objectives; Compare the mean platelet volume (MPV) in the third trimester of pregnancy between preeclamptic and healthy pregnant women to see if this parameter is indicative of preeclampsia. Subjects and methods; This case control study was performed conducted at Al-Hussein Hospitals and Air Force General Hospital. The study included 80 pregnant women in their third trimester were selected to participate in the study, they were assigned to 2 group: 1st group: 100 pregnant women with preeclampsia, 2nd group: 100 pregnant women free of any medical disorders, Result; there is statistically significant higher MPV value at the 31th, 34th and 37th gestational week of pregnancy in pregnant females with preeclampsia than control group, Conclusion; Mean platelet volume is a strong indicator of pre-eclampsia. MPV is frequently collected during a complete blood count, and its application to the diagnosis of preeclampsia in a clinical environment needs to be further studied.
