STUDY ON CORRELATION BETWEEN MATERNAL SERUM LDH LEVELS AND SEVERITY OF PRE-ECLAMPSIA � MATERNAL AND PERINATAL OUT COME

Dr. T. G. Revathy, Dr. C. Dhivya

Abstract :

AIM:-

1) To Compare Serum LDH Levels in normal pregnant women and in women with pre-eclampsia.

2) To find the relationship between severe LDH levels and of pre eclampsia maternal and perinatal outcome.

3) To find prognostic value of LDH in maternal morbidity in pre eclampsia.

MATERIALS & METHODS:

Study design : Prospective Comparative Study

Study Period : August 2015 to August 2016

Place of study : Department of obstetrics and gynaecology

Government Kasturba Gandhi Hospital

Triplicane Chennai.

Sample Size : 200

Methods : Estimation of Maternal serum LDH

Results:

In this Study There was no statistical significance with respect to age, BMI, Socio economic status.,LDH levels were found higher among

pre eclampsia group compared to healthy normal pregnant women. Among the pre eclampsia group highlevel of LDH were seen in severe pre eclampsia when compared to mild pre eclampsia.

Conclusion:

Elevated levels of maternal serum Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is indicative of cellular damage and dysfunction can be used as biochemical marker because it reflects the severity of disease, because of complications and perinatal outcome. Increased LDH methods close monitoring and management to decrease both maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality.
