Aim: Fetuin A is a multifunctional protein which marker of pathological calcification in several diseases. This study aimed to evaluate serum fetuin level term pregnancies with grade 3 placental calcification.
 Material and Method: Fifty-seven pregnant women who applied obstetrics outpatient clinic for routine pregnancy follow-up at were included this study. The was designed prospectively. Patients (n=29) compared patients non-calcified placenta (n=28) terms levels. 
 Results: Maternal calcium levels calcified significantly increased placenta. There no significant difference between the control groups. not found be correlated maternal level. Conclusion: has been targeted as calcification. findings current may support thought that physiological rather than process.
