80 Patients diagnosed as having Pre-eclampsia and 80 controls with similar age group were studied after taking their consent. Blood samples were collected under aseptic precautions in plain vacutainer for serum uric acid estimations. Uric acid estimation was done by Uricase Peroxidase Method on Fully Automated Biochemistry Analyzer Miura 300.
The observed mean serum uric acid levels in preeclampsia was 7.52±0.77 mg/dl as compared to 3.70±0.94 mg/dl in controls.
High serum uric acid levels could be a useful indicator of the maternal and fetal complication in hypertensive patients.
