Abstract

This research aimed to assess some blood variables and some biochemical and physiological variables in pregnant women in the city of Baiji and the extent of the impact of pollution with trace elements such as lead, copper and cadmium. Blood samples of pregnant women were collected during the three stages of pregnancy represented by the groups one month as the first stage A (4-6) months and (1-3) months B as the second stage C (7-9) months as the third stage and women with blood pressure (D ). The results in this study showed a high body mass standard for pregnant women and pregnant women with blood pressure (A, B, C, D) as pregnancy progressed compared with married women who are not pregnant as a control group (E) at a probability level (p<0.05). The results showed a high body mass standard for pregnant women and women with blood pressure as pregnancy progressed compared with married women who are not pregnant Group E. A significant increase in the concentration of albumin in blood serum and cholesterol concentration of pregnant women and pregnant women with blood pressure compared with married women who are not pregnant as a control group at a probability level (p<0.05).The results also showed a significant increase in the concentration of bilirubin for pregnant women and pregnant women with blood pressure compared to married women who are not pregnant, especially in the last stages of pregnancy. The results also showed a significant increase in the effectiveness of liver enzymes represented by the basal enzyme phosphites, the enzyme aspartate transaminase and the enzyme Alanine Transaminase, especially in the last two stages of pregnancy compared to married women who are not pregnant as a control group.
