Background : The precise factors involved in the pathogenesis of Pregnancy Induced. Hypertension (PIH) are unclear, but several alterations in calcium metabolism have been identified.

Epidemiologic data suggest an inverse correlation between dietary calcium intake and incidence of PIH.

Although evidence suggests a possible beneficial effect of supplemental calcium, contradictions persist in clinical trials of pregnant women.

Presently, there is insufficient evidence to support routine calcium supplementation of all pregnant women.

However, high-risk groups, such as pregnant teens, populations with inadequate calcium intake, and women at risk of developing PIH, may benefit from consuming additional dietary calcium. Aim : The aim of this study was to measure calcium level in pregnant women complicated with hypertension (PIH) compared to normotensive pregnant women.

Also, to find the relationship between the level of calcium and socioeconomic status of pregnant woman.

Beside this, to determine factors (such as : first pregnancy, single, Method : This was a case-control, hospital .based retrospective study.

Serum calcium measurement was determined by enzymatic method Serum calcium was using automated spectrophotometer (Biosystems 30, Spain). Sample size was 135 women, 90with pregnancy induced hypertension (study group) 45 normal pregnant (control group).

For data collection structured questionnaire was used. Result : In this study, serum of 135 pregnant women has been collected, 90of them with pregnancy induced hypertension (study group) with mean age (27.4 ± 6.1) ranged between 15 and 37 years .and the 45 are normal pregnant women (control group) with mean age (24.4) ranged between 15-37 years.

The mean serum total calcium of the study group was (8.381.04 mg %), while the mean serum total calcium of the control group was (9.041.13mg %).There was a statistical significance between the 2 groups, lower in the study group (P > 0.001).

We couldn't find a correlation between the categorical variables (level of education participants Vs.

drinking milk) in study group (Asmp.

Sig = 0.027) also we find a correlation between the categorical variables (level of education participants vs.

having calcium tab supplementation) among those who having calcium tab supplementation in study group (Asmp.

Sig = 0.844).

Conclusion : Based on this study null hypotheses is accepted and it seems that there is correlation between calcium level and with disorder (pregnancy induced hypertension).
