Vitamin E supplementation did not improve fetal outcomes or maternal health in severe preeclampsia patients. This study found no significant difference in fetal mortality or improvements in proteinuria and hypertension with vitamin E treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Maternal-Fetal Medicine
  • Nutritional Science

Background:

  • Preeclampsia is associated with an oxidant/antioxidant imbalance.
  • Vitamin E is a key antioxidant in the body.
  • The role of vitamin E in preeclampsia management is under investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effect of vitamin E supplementation on fetal and maternal outcomes in preeclamptic patients.
  • To determine if vitamin E can mitigate the effects of preeclampsia on pregnancy.

Main Methods:

  • A nonrandomized controlled trial was conducted.
  • 36 preeclamptic patients were included.
  • Patients received conventional therapy with or without oral vitamin E (100-300 mg/day).

Main Results:

  • Fetal mortality rates were similar between the vitamin E group (35%) and the control group (36%).
  • Proteinuria increased in both groups.
  • Increased dosages of antihypertensive drugs were required for blood pressure control in both groups.

Conclusions:

  • Vitamin E supplementation, at the dosages used, did not improve fetal outcomes in severe preeclampsia.
  • Vitamin E did not demonstrate favorable effects on maternal hypertension or proteinuria in established preeclampsia.
