“…In three studies, women who developed preeclampsia were found to have lower levels of vitamin D than women who did not with levels less than 50 nmol/l associated with a five-fold increased risk of severe preeclampsia. [9][10][11] In our study findings revealed that maternal vitamin D deficiency in pregnancy is not significantly associated with elevated risk for preeclampsia. Out of 21 patients that had gestational hypertension, only 8 had vitamin D deficiency.…”

“…This is comparable to the study done by Baker et al who found that mid gestation maternal 25(OH)D concentration was lower in women who subsequently developed severe preeclampsia compared with controls. 29 The present study revealed a significant association between preeclampsia and vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D deficiency was significantly higher in pregnant women with preeclampsia compared with the control group (95.5% vs 68.7%), which is consistent with a metaanalysis showing a significant association between 25(OH)D deficiency.…”

“…This is similar to study done by Baker et al who found that mid gestation maternal 25(OH) vitamin D concentration was lower in women who subsequently developed severe preeclampsia compared with controls. 23 In a case-cohort study it was found that maternal vitamin D deficiency may be a risk factor for severe pre eclampsia, but it is not associated with pre eclampsia overall or its mild subtypes. 9 No significant difference was found in vitamin D status among both mild and severe subtypes of pre eclampsia.…”

“…Because there is no universally acceptable definition of vitamin D deficiency, we used cut off points suggested recently by some studies. 23,24,26 Serum samples were drawn at similar gestational ages in both the groups.…”
