Correlation of Serum Uric Acid with Maternal Age, Parity and Severity of Blood Pressure in Pre–eclamptic Pregnancies

چکیده
Maternal serum uric acid was determined in 30 preeclamptic and 20 normal pregnant females in their third trimester. Serum uric acid was 3.52± 0.75 in normal pregnancies and 6.03 ± 1.67 in preeclamptic pregnancies. This increase in serum uric acid was highly significant (P<0.001). There was no influence of parity and maternal age on serum uric acid. Serum uric acid levels increased significantly from 5.05±0.89 to 7.49±1.50 with increase in mean arterial pressure above 115 mmHg in pre –eclamptic pregnancies. (P<0.01)

It is suitable to use antioxidants for pre-eclampsia prevention. The aim of this study is to measure the maternal serum...
متن کاملThyroid functions in pre-eclampsia and its correlation with maternal age, parity, severity of blood pressure and serum albumin.
Maternal thyroid function was investigated in 32 pre-eclamptic women and 10 normal pregnant women in their third trimester. Serum total tri-iodothyronine (TT3) and total thyroxine (TT4) were decreased significantly (P < 0.001) and TSH was increased significantly (P < .001) in pre-eclampsia as compared to normal pregnancy. There was no influence of parity and maternal age on thyroid functions. T...

The present study has been undertaken to compare the maternal serum values of uric acid, triglycerides, total cholesterol and HDL-C between pre-eclamptic women and normotensive pregnant women. Study includes 80 women divided into two groups. Estimation of serum uric acid, triglycerides, total-cholesterol and HDL-C were analyzed by Modified Trinder Peroxidase, CHOD-PAP and Phosphotungstic acid p...
متن کاملEstrogen and androgen concentrations are not lower in the umbilical cord serum of pre-eclamptic pregnancies.
Reductions in breast cancer risk observed in daughters of pre-eclamptic pregnancies are hypothesized to be mediated by lower in utero estrogen concentrations. Whereas maternal urinary estriol excretion is generally lower in pre-eclamptic women, results for maternal blood concentrations are equivocal, and little is known about estrogen concentrations in the cord of pre-eclamptic pregnancies. Unc...
متن کاملRole of serum leptin level as a marker of severity of pre eclampsia.
BACKGROUND To explore the possibility of serum leptin being a marker of severity of pre-eclampsia, so that risk of imminent eclampsia and eclampsia can be reduced. METHODS This observational study was conducted at a private hospital of Hyderabad from 31st July to 1st December 2007. Forty primipara with same age, body mass indices and gestational age were included in this study. Twenty women h...
