Özet: Background: Preeclampsia is a syndrome characterized by hypertension, proteinuria and oedema. The present study was conducted to analyse Serum Sodium and Potassium Levels in Preeclampsia. Materials and Methods: It were a retrospective cross-sectional clinical study, carried out to analyse Serum Sodium and Potassium Levels in Preeclampsia. The results of 100 blood samples each of normotensives and preeclamptics women were included in the study. The measurement of serum sodium and potassium level was done. Statistical analysis was done. Results: In the present study results of 100 blood samples each of normotensives and preeclamptics women which came in the clinical lab for analyzing serum sodium and potassium levels over a period of 6 months were included in the study. The mean serum sodium levels in normotensives were 130.6mmol/l and in women with preeclampsia levels were 143.5mmol/l. The mean serum potassium levels in normotensives were 3.57 mmol/l and in women with preeclampsia levels were 2.67mmol/l. Conclusion: The present study concluded that the mean sodium levels were more in preeclampsia patients whereas the mean serum potassium levels were more in normotensives.
