Background: In this study was carried out to determine the relation between serum levels of Folic Acid and preeclampsia among pregnant women. Methods: Methods- Hospital based comparative study was conducted at Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, SMS medical college, Jaipur. Results: In PIH group, 20.00% women folic acid level was 3.1-7.8 ng/ml, 40.00% women folic acid level was 7.9-12.6 ng/ml, 35.00% women folic acid level was 12.7-17.5 ng/ml and 5.00% women folic acid level was 17.6-20.00 ng/ml. In normotensive group, 5.00% women folic acid level was 3.1-7.8 ng/ml, 25.00% women folic acid level was 7.9-12.6 ng/ml, 50.00% women folic acid level was 12.7-17.5 ng/ml and 20.00% women folic acid level was 17.6-20.00 ng/ml. Conclusion: We conclude that folic acid is not the only element in preventing the preeclampsia, however, its serum level in case group is significantly less than control group.
