Vitamin C and E Supplementation Does Not Reduce the Risk of Superimposed PE in Pregnancy

Abstract

Vitamin C and E supplementation does not prevent development of superimposed preeclampsia in women with essential hypertension. Our results did not show any significant benefit of vitamin supplementation. There was some trend in lessening of hypertensive complications of pregnancy. Our results failed to find any correlation between development of superimposed preeclampsia and oxidative stress.
