Study of serum levels of superoxide dismutase in preeclampsia and eclampsia: role of the test as a predictive tool

Abstract

We found low levels of serum superoxide dismutase, less than 0.52 U/mL, being the predecessor of fulminating eclampsia. Our results support this predictive value of serum superoxide dismutase level as important in deciding the time of intervention as termination of pregnancy.
