Introduction:Low vitamin D status, among other risk factors, is linked to the development of preeclampsia. Systematic reviews and metaanalyses have concluded that low serum vitamin D levels (25-hydroxyvitamin D [25OHD]) in pregnancy are associated with a higher risk of
preeclampsia and suggest a preventive role of vitamin D supplementation.
Aim:To examine the association between maternal serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) concentration in early pregnancy and the subsequent
diagnosis of preeclampsia.
Material and methods:This prospective case control study was carried out at Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, College of medicine and
JNM Hospital, Kalyani, Nadia. Duration of the study was one and half year study period from March 2018-August 2019. Total 100 cases attending
regular antenatal OPD was included provided they full the inclusion criteria.
Result:It was found that in preeclampsia, 4(66.7%) patients had Vitamin-D Deciency and 2(33.3%) patients had Insufciency Vitamin-D.
Association of Vitamin-D vs. preeclampsia was not statistically signicant (p=0.3135). It was found that in preeclampsia, 6(100.0%) patients had
no Previous Eclampsia. Association of Previous Eclampsia vs. preeclampsia was not statistically signicant (p=0.6991965055).
Conclusion:We concluded that maternal vitamin D deciency may be an independent risk factor for preeclampsia. Vitamin D supplementation in
early pregnancy should be explored for preventing preeclampsia.
