The preeclampsia severe form is one of the great tried of complications, that are responsible for the majority of maternal deaths. The causes of preeclampsia remain for the most part unknown and preeclampsia affects perinatal death, growth retardation and morbidity. This retrospective study was performed in order to find out the relationship between the hemoglobin concentration and birth weight in severe preeclampsia. This data presented here was based on the clinical records of 191 severe preeclamptic patients, whose last menstrual periods were correct, who admitted and delivered at department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Wonju Christian Hospital, Wonju College of Medicine, Yonsei University, during 4 years from Feb. 1982 to Jan. 1986. The results were as follows : 1. Marternal hemoglobin level(10.69gm/dl) in severe preeclampsia is lower than that (11.12gm/dl)in normal pregnancy. 2. Frequency of anemia (Hb 10.0gm/dl) in severe preeclampsia(33.5%) is higher than that(20.4%) in normal pregnancy. 3. Frequency of intrauterine (Hb 10.0gm/dl) in severe preeclampsia is 36.1% and mean hemoglobin level(11.23gm%) is higher than other centile groups. 4. In severe preeclampsia, mean percentile is 34.79 in less than 8.0gm% in hemoglobin level, 34.71 in from 8,0gm% to 9.9gm% in hemoglobin level, 26.54 in from 10.0gm% to 11.9gm% in hemoglobin level and 23.80 in more than 12.0gm% in hemoglobin level. Birth weight decreased according to increased hemoglobin level.
