Abstract

Three groups of subjects have been divided (25/group):healthy normotensive non-pregnant women (Group A), normal normotensive pregnant women (Group B), and women with preeclampsia (Group C).The levels of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST),total bilirubin , creatinine , blood urea nitrogen,triglyceride , totalcholesterol and glucose have beenestimated in all subjects.All measuredparameters were determined by spectrophotometric analysis. The results showed a significant(P<0.05) increase in serum ALT, AST,blood urea nitrogen,triglyceride and total cholesterol levels in group B as compared to group A. However creatinine, total bilirubin and glucose levels did not show any statisticalsignificant alterations. The women in group C showed to beassociated with a significant(P<0.05) rise in all measured parameters except total bilirubin as compared towomenin group A.The preeclamptic women (group C)showed significant (P<0.05)increase in serum alanine aminotransferase , blood urea nitrogen , triglyceride , total cholesterol and glucose levels as compared to womenin groupB. While serum aspartate aminotransferase, total bilirubinand creatinine levels did not show any statisticalsignificant alteration.(P
