In preeclampsia there is a decrease in the platelet count, a decreased life span, and increased MPV The present study compares complete blood count (CBC) parameters especially mean platelet volume (MPV), in pre - eclamptic (mild and severe) and normal pregnant women in the third trimester of pregnancy, and to evaluate whether this parameter have a prognostic significance in determining the severity of preeclampsia. 174 pregnant women in their third trimester ( {u2265} 28 weeks gestation) were selected to participate in the study, they were assigned to 3 groups: 1st group: 58 pregnant women with mild preeclampsia , 2nd group: 58 pregnant women with severe preeclampsia, and 3rd group: 58 normal pregnant women free of any medical disorders UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
