Serum copper and ceruloplasmin in pregnancy with anaemia.
Estimation of serum copper and ceruloplasmin was done in 25 non pregnant females, 25 healthy pregnant women followed from I to III trimester and 75 pregnant women with anaemia--25 in each trimester. Anaemia was further divided into mild, moderate and severe types (27, 32 & 16 cases respectively). Normal pregnancy was associated with progressive increase in serum copper and ceruloplasmin--values being highest in III trimester. All types of anaemias in pregnancy revealed statistically significant elevation of serum copper and ceruloplasmin when compared to corresponding gestational period in normal pregnancy.
