Serum Fe, TIBC and ferritin in different studied groups
| Parameters | Normal pregnant | Pre-eclampsia |
|---|---|---|
| Fe (μg/dl) | 67.3 ± 4.92 | 85.3 ± 4.64a |
| TIBC (μg/dl) | 428.7 ± 3.85 | 386.0 ± 4.73a |
| Ferritin (ng/dl) | 38.2 ± 1.09 | 79.6 ± 1.02a |
Fe, iron, TIBC, total iron binding capacity, Number of patients in each group = 60
