To determine the significance of urine albumin/ creatinine ratio (UACR) as to predict proteinuria in new-onset hypertension and uric acid in women with preeclampsia and its comparison with healthy normotensive pregnant women. Methods. Healthy normotensive pregnant women (n = 45), women with preeclampsia (n = 36) were included in the study. The preeclamptic group was further divided into two subgroups: mild (n = 25) and severe preeclampsia (n = 11). Results. Higher mean values of urine albumin/ creatinine ratio (UACR) and uric acid were found in preeclamptic pregnant women (319.05 ± 247.56 mg/g, 5.98 ± 2.1 mg/dl) as compared to healthy normotensive pregnant women (22.15 ± 8.1 mg/g, 4.07 ± 0.91 mg/dl) in the third trimester with highly significant difference (p < 0.001) statistically. When comparison of the mean values of urine albumin/creatinine ratio and uric acidwas done between mild (199.9 ± 46.78 mg/g, 5.24 ± 1.89 mg/dl) and severe preeclamptic pregnant women (589.67 ± 305.38 mg/g, 7.64 ± 1.4 mg/dl), the values were found to be elevated in the latter group with highly significant difference (p < 0.001) statistically. The positive and highly significant correlation was found in UACR/blood pressure, uric acid/blood pressure and UACR/uric acid. Conclusion. It was concluded that UACR and serum uric acid levels increased as disease progressed from mild to severe conditions. 2014 artículo científico 2029-4174 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=694074048005 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=6940 Acta medica Lituanica application/pdf Vilniaus Universitetas Acta medica Lituanica (Lituania) Num.1 Vol.21 |
