Abstract
Serum leptin levels in hypertensive pregnant women appear to be higher. The determination of serum leptin levels may be as important as serum fibronectin and C peptide levels in the management of hypertensive disorder of pregnancy. C peptide and insulin may be due to hyperinsulinemia which leads to increased stimulation of leptin production by fatty tissue. Insulin resistance which appears in late pregnancy is more significant especially in pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia.
