Introduction: Preeclampsia is one of the causes of high maternal mortality rates, especially in developing countries. Hematocrit and hemoglobin tests are easy to do in almost all health facilities. Many studies show that early onset preeclampsia (EO-PE) is associated with worse pregnancy conditions than late onset preeclampsia (LO-PE). This study aims to determine the comparison of hematocrit and hemoglobin in early onset and late onset preeclampsia so that it is hoped that it can be a simple and easy to do early detection tool, and is potentially being developed. Methods: This research is a cross sectional study with independent T test and logistic regression methods. Samples were taken from medical records at RSUD Dr. Moewardi January 2021 — May 2023. Results: The samples were 50 women with EO-PE and 50 women with LO-PE. The results of this study showed that the mean hemoglobin value in EO-PE was 12,852g/dL and in LO-PE 11,030 g/dL, with a significant mean comparison (p-value 0.000). Meanwhile, for hematocrit, the mean value for EO-PE was 37.138% and for LOPE, the mean was 32.148% and the mean comparison was significant (p-value 0.000).Comparison of the relationship between hemoglobin and hematocrit showed that hemoglobin (OR 2.003) was more related to EOPE than hematocrit (OR 1.219). Conclusion: Means of hemoglobin and hematocrit in EO-PE were significantly higher compared to LO-PE. Hemoglobin is more related to EO-PE than hematocrit. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
