Uric acid levels: a useful index of the severity of preeclampsia and perinatal prognosis

The Correlation Between Renal Function and Systolic or Diastolic Blood Pressure in Severe Preeclamptic Women

“…Pollak et al (20) reported that plasma uric acid levels generally correlate with severity of disease, and high levels have been associated with poor outcome. It also is evident that severe preeclamptic mothers in the present study have more complications of pregnancy or worse fetal outcome, which is correlated with high uric acid concentration (21).…”

Association of Lipid Profile and Uric Acid with Pre-Eclampsia of Third Trimester in Nullipara Women

“…Lilliana Susanana et al, have made similar observations of higher levels of uric acid in serum of patients of PE which were statistically significant in their study which compared these levels in essential hypertensives, normal and pre-eclamptic women during pregnancy in their third trimester [27].…”

Fetal Outcome in Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy.

“…Varma TR noted 38% intrauterine growth restriction in severe preeclampsia and 18% intrauterine growth restriction in women with mild preeclampsia 10 . Whereas,Voto at el noted 16% low birth weight in women with severe preeclampsia and 12% with mild preeclampsia 11 . Since our sample size is very small, we cannot make any conclusion on it.…”
