The high serum uric acid concentration correlates with the degree of severity of the pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) and perinatal outcome. In this context, maternal serum uric acid level is reported to be one of the prognostic factor for determination of perinatal outcome. Based on the existing data, the present prospective study was undertaken in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, BIRDEM Academy, from January to December, 2010. Out of 120 women, 60 suffering from PIH (severe preeclampsia and eclampsia) served as group I and 60 normotensive women at third trimester of pregnancy served as group II. This study showed that mean (±SD) serum uric acid was significantly elevated in group I PIH patients (7.21±1.81 mg/dl) compared to group II normotensive pregnancy (4.40±0.84 mg/dl). In group I PIH patients, 39 (86%) had adverse perinatal outcome (preterm, IUGR, stillbirth), and 6 (13.3%) term and healthy deliveries when serum uric acid level was >6 mg/dl. Current study showed that there was positive and statistically significant relationship between diastolic blood pressure and hyperuricaemia in group I PIH patients (r = +0.359, P<0.01). This study also showed that in group I PIH patients, when serum uric acid increased, birth weight significantly decreased (r = 0.279, P<0.05).J Bangladesh Coll Phys Surg 2014; 32: 124-129

<p>The aim of this study was to find out the effects of raised serum uric acid level on perinatal and maternal outcome in cases of pregnancy-induced hypertension. One hundred pregnant women with gestational period beyond 28 weeks with pregnancy-induced hypertension-preeclampsia and eclampsia were included in this study and divided into two groups. Group A (n=65) patients with a serum uric acid level &gt;6 mg/dL was compared to Group B (n=35) patients with a uric acid level &lt;6 gm/dL. It revealed that high uric acid level in patients with pregnancy-induced hypertension was a risk factor for several maternal complications like postpartum hemorrhage (Group A, 17.4%; Group B, 22.6%), postpartum eclampsia (Group A, 10.1%; Group B, 9.7%), abruptio placentae (Group A, 8.7%; Group B, 6.4%), HELLP syndrome (Group A, 2.9%; Group B, 0%) and pulmonary edema (Group A, 4.3%; Group B, 0%). In case of perinatal outcome, the birth weight, intrauterine growth retardation, intrauterine death, stillbirth and neonatal death rate were worse in Group A 1.9 kg, 66.7, 19, 7 and 8% in comparison to Group B, where those were 2.1, 13, 6, 2, and 2% respectively. In conclusion, high uric acid in blood in patient with hypertensive disorders in pregnancy is a risk factor for several maternal complications.</p>

Background: Hyperuricaemia is a metabolic marker of decreased renal function in chronic kidney disease (CKD). It increases cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and mortality risk in patients with CKD. Objectives: To estimate serum uric acid level in different stages of CKD. Methods: The present study was a cross sectional analytical study and was conducted in the Department of Physiology, Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka from July 2012 to June 2013 on 300 participants. They were divided into group A (150 control healthy participants) and group B (150 diagnosed cases of CKD). Serum creatinine and serum uric acid levels were measured by auto analyzer in Department of Pathology, Dhaka Medical College. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated from serum creatinine level by Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation. For statistical analysis unpaired Student “t” test, one way ANOVA test, Bonferroni test, Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r) test and Linear regression were performed using SPSS for windows version 20. Result: In this study, serum uric acid level was significantly (p<0.05) higher and eGFR were significantly lower in study groups than that of control group. There was gradual rise of serum uric acid level in CKD subjects from stage I to V. A significant inverse correlation was observed between serum uric acid level and eGFR. Serum uric acid level increased 0.048 mg/dl for each ml/min/1.73m2 decrease of eGFR. Conclusion: This study concludes that serum uric acid level increases gradually in accordance with the higher stages of CKD. There is a negative correlation of serum uric acid with eGFR in all stages of CKD which was statistically significant (p<0.05). Screening of serum uric acid level in different stages of CKD may be beneficial for assessing renal damage as well as prediction of co-morbidities associated with it.

Background: The purpose of this study was to study the role of serum uric acid level in progression to preeclampsia in gestational hypertensive pregnancies. Methods: Hospital based comparative study was conducted at Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, SMS medical college, Jaipur. Results: Uric acid level was significantly higher in with PIH (6.68±0.36 mg/dl) as compared to without PIH (4.92±0.57 mg/dl). Receiver-operator characteristic curve showed relatively poor sensitivity and specificity performance (area under the curve= 1.00) of serum uric acid level at the initial presentation of gestational hypertension for predicting the progression to preeclampsia The best cut-off revealed from the curve was 6.18 mg/dl. Conclusion: In conclusion, higher serum uric acid levels at the initial presentation of gestational hypertension may indicate heightened risk of progression to preeclampsia and development of adverse maternal/ infant conditions.

Background: Serum uric acid is a relatively insoluble metabolite of purine metalolism which is mainly secreted by the kidneys and the rate is dependant on renal blood flow. It increases in preeclampsia and studies show it may be a marker of severe preeclampsia. Objective: To determine the serum uric acid level in preeclampsia, to compare the serum uric acid level between mild and sever preeclampsia and to find out any relationship of the serum uric acid level with hypertension in preeclampsia. Methods and materials: This cross sectional study was conducted in Dhaka Medical College Hospital in eclampsia ward of Gynae & Obs department during the period from January 2010 to December 2011. This study group composed of 92 diagnosed case of preeclampsia patient. Out of the 92 cases, 42 were mild preeclampsia and 50 were severe preeclampsia. Result: The results of the study showed that the mean serum uric acid level was significantly high in severe preeclampsia compared to mild preeclampsia and there is a positive and significant relationship of serum uric acid level with hypertension in preeclampsia. Conclusion: There is significant association between serum uric acid level and hypertension in Preeclampsia. Anwer Khan Modern Medical College Journal Vol. 11, No. 1: Jan 2020, P 35-40
