Abstract

Hypertensive complications occur in 12-22% of all pregnancies and a major
factor in maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality.
The purpose of this study was to study the course of pregnancy and assess the state of
newborns, from mothers with various severity of preeclampsia, depending on the level of
homocysteine and vitamin D. Analyzed the state of 85 pregnant women with preeclampsia
and their newborns. The control group was 25 pregnant women without hypertensive
disorders. Vitamin D deficiency and the level hyperhomocysteinemia statistically significantly
affects not only the health of pregnant women, but also the state of health of the newborn.
