  ABSTRACT: Purpose: The aim was to evaluate the serum levels of D-Dimer during normal pregnancy and in that complicated by preeclampsia, identify their associations with maternal variables and gestational, and these verite role of D-Dimer in preeclampsia inflammation. Material and Methods: Cross-sectional, multicenter study conducted in Kinshasa on pregnant women carrying a single pregnancy between 24 and 40 weeks, without any co morbidities; preeclampsia pregnant women between 24 and 40 weeks, with no other co morbidity.
