Hyperuricemia: Increase Risk of Maternal & Fetal Complications (Outcome) in Preeclampsia
Abstract: Background - Preeclampsia is a multisystem disorder & most common cause of maternal & fetal death in India & all over the world [1]. Hypertension in pregnancy after 28 wks can cause poor perinatal outcome. Increased serum uric acid level (hyperuricemia) in Preeclampsia [2] further increases risk of complicated pregnancy like premature delivery, foetal distress, maternal & fetal death etc So, increase serum uric acid level is one of the prognostic factor for determination of perinatal outcome. Materials & Methods - 100 Preeclampsia women admitted in OBGY ward after 28 wks of pregnancy were selected as cases & 100 Normotensive pregnant women attending Biochemistry OPD were selected as control (>28 wks of pregnancy. Serum Uric acid level was estimated in Biochemistry clinical Laboratory on Autoanalyser in all cases and control & values was compared. Follow up study was taken of Preeclampsia women with hyperuricemia regarding their maternal & fetal outcome till delievery & its outcome was correlated with hyperuricemia. Result – Our study shows increase level of serum uric acid in Preeclampsia compared to Normotensive which is statistically significant ( P value
