Magnesium and Vanadium Levels in Preeclampsia

Cengiz Gokcek Women's and Children's Hospital210 enrolled

Overview

Introduction: Vanadium important pollutants produced from anthropogenic activities, has been suggested to be embryotoxic and fetotoxic in a lot of studies. Magnesium sulfate therapy is used very common to prevent seizures in women with preeclampsia. However, the causes of preeclampsia are little known and heavy metals merit further investigation. The investigators will be tested whether late - onset preeclampsia (LOPE) was associated with exposure to these metals. Methods: This study was designed to determine maternal plasma/urine/hair magnesium and vanadium concentrations in women with LOPE (n=70) compared to those of normotensive pregnant women (n=70) and to those of normotensive-healthy non-pregnant women (n=70). These metals concentrations will be measured using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry were compared.

This observational case-control study will be conducted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Cengiz Gokcek Public Hospital, Gaziantep, Turkey, between May 2020 and February 2021. The protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee for Clinical Research of Gaziantep University (reference no: 2020/130). The study strictly will be adhered to the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. All participants will be included in the study gave oral and written informed consent. Two-hundred ten women will be enrolled in the study in three groups.
