Abstract :Objective: This study aims to assess Bisphenol-A levels in serum samples from preeclampsia patients and determine potential distinctions by comparing them against samples from healthy pregnant women Material-Methods: This single-center prospective case-control study aimed to investigate the potential differences in serum Bisphenol-A (BPA) levels between pregnant patients diagnosed with preeclampsia and healthy pregnant women. The study encompassed two distinct groups: the study group consisted of 30 pregnant patients diagnosed with preeclampsia, while the control group included 30 healthy pregnant women matched in terms of gestational weeks and demographic characteristics, maintaining a 1:1 ratio. Serum samples were subjected to analysis using a BPA ELISA kit Results: The study encompassed a total of 60 patients, who were categorized into two groups: preeclampsia (n=30) and control (n=30). Upon comparison of the BPA values between the two groups, no statistically significant difference was detected (p=0.579). Conclusion: Clear-cut scientific evidence establishing a conclusive causal link between BPA and preeclampsia is still lacking. Further research is needed in this area
