Objectives: Study was designed to find out the Correlation of serum uric acid with renal function parameters in Preeclampsia. Study Design: Cross Sectional study. Setting: Sir Ganga Ram Hospital Lahore. Period: July 2016 to July 2017. Material & Methods: Level of serum uric acid, serum creatinine and blood urea of 40 Preeclamptic women and 30 gestation-matched normotensive controls were estimated. Their Demographic and clinical characteristics were noted. The blood sample was analyzed for biochemical parameters, blood urea, serum uric acid, serum creatinine and urinary protein. Result: Mean age and gestational age of women was 25 weeks with BMI 29 Kg/m2. Level of serum uric acid and blood urea and serum creatinine were increased, but significant difference only observed with serum uric acid and blood urea with marked proteinuria. An inverse relationship of serum uric acid with urinary protein was observed. A direct relationship, of serum uric acid with serum creatinine was observed. Conclusion: it is concluded that estimation of parameters of renal function of preeclamptic women are important along with hyperuicaemia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
