Relationship of red cell distribution width with the presence and severity of preeclampsia.

Aim: Although the relationship between red cell distribution width (RDW) and hypertension has been well documented, there is an absence of data on the association between RDW and preeclampsia. In the present study, we have aimed to investigate the correlation of RDW with preeclampsia and its severity.

Methods: The study population consisted of 52 (35 mild and 17 severe) patients with preeclampsia and 50 control pregnancy patients.
