Comparative evaluation of different methods to quantify proteinuria in preeclampsia

Background: Worsening of condition in preeclampsia is indicated by progressive proteinuria, hence its quantification helps decision making and plan treatment accordingly. The present study was undertaken to compare different methods estimation proteinuria find best method for quantification.Methods: It a hospital based prospective conducted on group 100 pregnant women diagnosed as after 20 weeks gestation, they were subjected admission department obstetrics gynaecology, Narayana medical college hospital, Nellore over period one year.Results: Present showed strong positive strength association SSA test higher compared the spot urinary PCR dipstick. To assess predictability three against 24-hour urine protein ROC curve. AUC stronger than Study significant better SSA>>Urinary PCR>>dipstick with accuracy 96.04%, 95.0% 54% respectively.Conclusions: This concluded that are reliable investigations dipstick method. So, can be used detection pre-eclampsia high accuracy, which more rapid time consuming estimation. Thus, this quick very useful prevent feto-maternal morbidity mortality India.
