Serum uric acid, serum iron levels in normal pregnancy and preeclampsia patients
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Biochemistry - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Objective: Preeclampsia is pregnancy specific syndrome of reduced organ perfusion, secondary to vasospasm and endothelial activation associated with edema, BP: 140/90mm of Hg after 20 weeks of gestation and most frequently near term. Preeclampsia is the 3rd most common cause of maternal mortality constituting 6.8% of all pregnancies. Serum Uric Acid has a significant role in preeclampsia as a predictor marker, that it correlates well with preeclampsia as well as foetal out comes. The present study was conducted to assess the level of serum uric acid in preeclampsia patients and to see the relationship of serum uric acid levels with the fetal outcome. Methods: The study is conducted on 30 normal pregnant and100 preeclampsia patients between 24-34 weeks. Serum Iron levels and serum Uric acid levels are estimated in these patients. The data is analysed with prism statistics. Results: Serum Uric acid were found to be higher in preeclampsia patients compared to healthy control. Interpretations and Conclusion: Serum Uric Acid levels have an inverse relationship with the fetal outcome. Estimation of serum uric acid levels will be more useful screening test to predict Preeclampsia and also Foetal outcome
