Eclampsia is an important cause of maternal mortality in developing countries. This cross-sectional comparative study was conducted in the Departments of Clinical Pathology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), and Obstetrics and Gynecology, BSMMU, and Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh, from March 2012 to February 2013 and was designed to evaluate liver markers to predict preeclampsia. One hundred fifty (150) women with pregnancy of ≥28 weeks, 50 for each normal, preeclampsia and eclampsia group, were enrolled purposively. The protocol was approved by IRB of BSMMU. Consent was taken from each patient. Serum total Bilirubin and ALT were assessed. Data was collected in a questionnaire and analyzed by SPSS-16. Quantitative data were compared by ANOVA or 't' test and qualitative data by chi-square test. P value <0.05 was considered significant. The patients of all groups were similar in age and gravida. The mean±SD serum total bilirubin and ALT were significantly higher in preeclampsia and eclampsia groups than normal pregnancy. However they were similar in preeclampsia and eclampsia group.

Effect of Hepatic Disease on Pharmacokinetics: Pathophysiologic Assessment and Liver Function Test

In clinical practice, the direct measurement of hepatic blood flow to evaluate liver function presents significant challenges due to the intricate and specialized nature of the necessary techniques. Consequently, healthcare professionals often rely on empirical estimates derived from thorough patient examinations and liver function tests to gauge liver health. Among the tools at their disposal, the Child–Pugh and MELD scoring systems stand out for their ability to categorize and assess...

Hormonal Regulation01:33

Hormonal Regulation

The renin-aldosterone system is an endocrine system which guides the renal absorption of water and electrolytes, thus managing blood pressure and osmoregulation. Activation of the system begins in the kidneys with a small cluster of cells adjacent to the afferent and efferent blood vessels of the renal corpuscle. As the nephrons are filtering blood, juxtaglomerular cells monitor blood pressure. If they detect a decrease in pressure, they release the hormone renin into the bloodstream.

Serum Studies: Renal Function Tests

Renal function tests are crucial for assessing kidney health, monitoring disease progression, and evaluating the kidneys' efficiency in waste elimination, fluid balance, and electrolyte regulation. These tests offer critical insights into kidney function, even though routine measurements may appear normal until there is a significant decline in the glomerular filtration rate or GFR. Typically, signs of kidney impairment only become evident when the GFR falls to about 50% of its normal level.
