Relationship between Serum Uric Acid Level and Prenatal Outcome in Pregnancy Induced Hypertension Patients / 天津医药

ABSTRACT

To investigate the effect of serum uric acid concentration on prenatal outcome in pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) patients. Methods:Serum uric acid (UA),creatinine (Cr) and urea nitrogen (BUN) were measured in 248PIH patients. The prenatal prognosis was analyzed. Results: Serum UA concentration was closely related to the degree of PIH. The level of UA in severe PIH patients was significantly higher than in mild and moderate PIH patients ( P ＜ 0.01, P＜ 0.01 ). When UA levels rose,the incidences of intrauterine growth retardation,dead fetus,intrauterine distress and newborn mortality increased significantly. The higher the UA level was, the worse the prenatal prognosis was. Conclusion: In PIH patients,the serum UA level is closely related to the prenatal outcome. It can be used to assess the prenatal prognosis and as an index to terminate gestation appropriately
