Abstract: To investigate the concentration of acute phase reactant (hs-CRP) in women with healthy and preeclamptic pregnancy and to compare it with non pregnant women. Non-pregnant normotensive women (n=30), healthy pregnant women (n=30), women with preeclampsia (n=30) were included in the study. Preeclamptic group was further divided into two subgroups mild (n=21) and severe preeclampsia (n=9). Higher values of serum hs-CRP were found in mild and severe preeclamptic women than those of non-pregnant women and normal pregnant women in third trimester.
