Serum calcium, Magnesium and Parathyroid Hormone were done by standard methods. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. P value < 0.01 was considered statistically significant. Results: Serum calcium (7.02 ± 0.99 vs. 9.34 ± 0.57) and serum magnesium (1.3 ± 0.34 vs1.88 ± 0.16) was significantly lower in preeclamptic women than normal healthy controls.
