Study on the Relationship between 24-hour Urinary Protein Quantification and Maternal and Neonatal Complications in Severe Preeclampsia / 医学研究杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the relationship between 24-hour urinary protein quantification and maternal and neonatal complications in severe preeclampsia. Methods Totally 2305 cases of pregnant women which were diagnosed as severe preeclampsia more than 28 weeks of single pregnancy in 37 hospitals in mainland China were selected from January 1 to December 31, 2011. According to the results of the highest 24 hours urine protein quantitative after admission, the subjects were divided into 3 groups. The group Ⅰ included 590 cases whose 24h urinary protein were 0-2g. There were 843 cases in group Ⅱ whose 24h urinary protein were 2-5g, 872 cases were in group Ⅲ whose 24h urinary protein were more than 5g. The complications of the maternal and neonatal outcome were analyzed among the three groups. Results The incidence of hypoalbuminemia was 14. 8％, the rate of chest /ascites /pulmonary edema / heart failure was 1. 6％, the incidence of renal dysfuction was 0. 6％ and the incidence of placental abruption and HELLP syndrome was 2. 7％ and 3. 0％. There was significant difference in the incidence of hypoalbuminemia among the three groups of which the incidence of groupⅠwas significantly lower than that of group Ⅱ and group Ⅲ (P ＜ 0. 017). The rate of fetal growth restriction, fetal distress and neonatal asphyxia was 3. 3％, 9. 5％, and 1. 1％. The incidence of neonatal body weight, fetal growth restriction and neonatal asphyxia among the three groups were significantly different (P ＜ 0. 05). The body weight of neonatal group was significantly higher than that of group Ⅱ and group Ⅲ (P ＜ 0. 017). The incidence of FGR in group Ⅱ was significantly higher than that in group Ⅲ (P ＜ 0. 017). The rate of neonatal asphyxia in group Ⅰ was significantly lower than that in group Ⅲ (P ＜ 0. 017). There are no significant difference in the incidence of heart failure /pulmonary edema, placental abruption, HELLP syndrome and cesarean section among the three groups. Conclusion 24-hour urinary protein may increase the risk of hypoalbuminemia in pregnant women with severe preeclampsia, but do not increase the risk of heart failure /pulmonary edema, placental abruption and HELLP syndrome. 24-hour urinary protein was associated with severe preeclampsia neonatal body weight, fetal growth restriction, and neonatal asphyxia.
