Objective: To asses the relationship between maternal serum uric acid level and severity of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy and perinatal outcomes.Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted at Persahabatan Hospital from January 2014 to December 2018. Subject were pregnant women with hypertensive disorder. Serum uric acid levels were taken from a venous blood sample at the time the patient came for delivery. The severity of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy were grouped into chronic hypertension, gestational hypertension, preeclampsia without severe feature, preeclampsia with severe feature, and preeclampsia with severe feature and organ involvement. The perinatal outcomes were the gestational age at birth, birth weight, and the first minute APGAR score. The relationship between maternal serum uric acid level and severity of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy and perinatal outcomes were analyzed using Mann Whitney and Kruskall Wallis test.Result: A total of 704 out of 880 pregnant women with hypertensive disorder have met the criteria as research subjects. Maternal uric acid levels were found to increase significantly (p <0.001) with increasing severity of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy. Maternal who experienced preterm delivery had significantly higher blood uric acid levels (p <0.001) than those who experienced a term delivery. Maternal blood uric acid levels of infants with small birth weight for gestational age and first minute Apgar score <7 were slightly higher but not significant compared to maternal blood uric acid levels of normal birth weight infants and first minute Apgar score >7.Conclusions: Maternal blood uric acid levels increased significantly accompanying the severity of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy. Blood uric acid levels tend to be higher in maternal who have poor perinatal outcomes.Keywords: APGAR score, hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, preeclampsia, uric acid. AbstrakTujuan: Untuk menilai hubungan antara kadar asam urat serum ibu dan keparahan gangguan hipertensi pada kehamilan dan luaran perinatal.Metode: Studi potong lintang dilakukan Rumah Sakit Persahabatan periode Januari 2014 sampai Desember 2018. Subjek penelitian adalah ibu hamil dengan gangguan hipertensi. Kadar asam urat darah diambil dari sampel darah vena pada saat ibu hamil datang untuk melahirkan. Tingkat keparahan gangguan hipertensi pada kehamilan dikelompokkan menjadi hipertensi kronik, hipertensi gestasional, preeklamsia tanpa gejala berat, preeklamsia dengan gejaka berat, dan preeklamsia dengan gejala berat dan keterlibatan organ. Luaran perinatal adalah usia kehamilan saat lahir, berat badan bayi lahir, dan skor APGAR menit pertama. Hubungan antara kadar asam urat darah ibu dan tingkat keparahan gangguan hipertensi pada kehamilan dan luaran perinatal dianalisis menggunakan uji Mann Whitney atau uji Kruskall Wallis.Hasil: Sebanyak 704 dari 880 ibu hamil penderita hipertensi telah memenuhi kriteria sebagai subjek penelitian. Kadar asam urat darah ibu meningkat secara signifikan (p <0,001) dengan meningkatnya keparahan gangguan hipertensi pada kehamilan. Ibu yang melahirkan preterm memiliki kadar asam urat darah yang lebih tinggi secara bermakna (p < 0,001) dibandingkan ibu yang melahirkan aterm. Kadar asam urat darah ibu dari bayi dengan berat lahir kecil untuk usia kehamilan dan skor Apgar menit pertama < 7, sedikit lebih tinggi tetapi tidak signifikan, dibandingkan kadar asam urat darah ibu dari bayi berat lahir normal dan skor Apgar menit pertama pertama > 7.Kesimpulan: Kadar asam urat darah ibu meningkat secara signifikan menyertai beratnya gangguan hipertensi pada kehamilan. Kadar asam urat darah cenderung lebih tinggi pada ibu yang memiliki luaran perinatal kurang baik.Kata kunci: APGAR, asam urat, hipertensi dalam kehamilan, preeklamsia.

Background: Newborns of mothers with hypertensive disorders in pregnancy have an increased risk of preterm delivery, low birth weight, perinatalasphyxia and haematological derangements such as polycythaemia, thrombocytopenia and neutropenia. These morbidities are associated with  uteroplacental insufficiency. The haematological derangements however have not been studied in detail in African neonates. Objective: To determine the clinical and haematological features of newborns of hypertensive mothers Methods: Cross-sectional study involving 250 newborns; 125 newborns each of hypertensive mothers (cases), and normotensive mothers (controls). The babies were examined following delivery, their clinical data were recorded, and umbilical cord blood samples were analysed for haematological indices. Results: Preterm deliveries were significantly higher amongst infants of hypertensive mothers (31.2%)compared with controls (12.0%);p = 0.000.  Similarly, the birth weight, length and head circumference of the cases were significantly lower than the controls; p = 0.008, 0.003 and 0.004 respectively. Low fifth minute APGAR scores occurred more frequently in cases (8.0%) than controls (0.8%), p=0.010; whilst the mean haematocrit  was also significantly higher in cases than the controls, p = 0.013. The median absolute neutrophil count and platelet count were significantly lower in cases than controls; p=0.023 and 0.047 respectively. Thrombocytopenia was identified in 40.0% of the cases compared to 27.2% of the controls, p =  0.041 Conclusion: The present study has shown that newborns of hypertensive mothers have an increased risk of neonatal morbidities such as preterm birth, LBW and thrombocytopenia compared to the newborns of mothers with normal blood pressure in pregnancy, hence close attention needs to be paid to them with emphasis on their haematological system.

The purpose of this study was to detect elevated uric acid level in maternal blood, presumably due to decrease renal urate excretion, for early detection of hypertensive disorder in pregnancy. This study showed that serum uric acid was significantly elevated in all cases of preeclampsia. The present study showed that serum uric acid levels were significantly elevated in eclampsia as compared with the levels in pregnancies complicated by hypertension (p < 0.05). The level of uric acid above 4.5 mg/dl is indicative of preeclamptic process and in such cases; the subjects deserve careful and close clinical follow up. Increasing higher concentration of uric acid i.e. 5.7 mg/dl, 6.3mg/dl, and 6.72mg/dl was observed in pregnancy with chronic hypertension, preeclampsia and eclampsia respectively. These results showed that serum uric acid could be used as a sensitive indicator of severity of preeclampsia. Out of 100 cases, there were 20 preterm baby and others such as stillbirth and IUD. So, these entire abnormal fetal outcomes were in the hyperuricaemic group and 5.37 times higher as compared to low serum uric acid group. Mean birth weight of preeclampsia and eclampsia were 2.31kg and 2.30kg respectively compared with 2.5kg in chronic hypertension group.    doi:10.3329/uhj.v4i2.2074 University Heart Journal Vol. 4 No. 2 July 2008 p.36-40

Abstract Background Worldwide, hypertensive disorders in pregnancy (HDPs) complicate between 5 and 10% of pregnancies. Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is disproportionately affected by a high burden of HDPs and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Despite mounting evidence associating HDPs with the development of CKD, data from SSA are scarce. Methods Women with HDPs (n = 410) and normotensive women (n = 78) were recruited at delivery and prospectively followed-up at 9 weeks, 6 months and 1 year postpartum. Serum creatinine was measured at all time points and the estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFR) using CKD-Epidemiology equation determined. CKD was defined as decreased eGFR< 60 mL/min/1.73m2 lasting for ≥ 3 months. Prevalence of CKD at 6 months and 1 year after delivery was estimated. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to evaluate risk factors for CKD at 6 months and 1 year postpartum. Results Within 24 h of delivery, 9 weeks, and 6 months postpartum, women with HDPs were more likely to have a decreased eGFR compared to normotensive women (12, 5.7, 4.3% versus 0, 2 and 2.4%, respectively). The prevalence of CKD in HDPs at 6 months and 1 year postpartum was 6.1 and 7.6%, respectively, as opposed to zero prevalence in the normotensive women for the corresponding periods. Proportions of decreased eGFR varied with HDP sub-types and intervening postpartum time since delivery, with pre-eclampsia/eclampsia showing higher prevalence than chronic and gestational hypertension. Only maternal age was independently shown to be a risk factor for decreased eGFR at 6 months postpartum (aOR = 1.18/year; 95%CI 1.04–1.34). Conclusion Prior HDP was associated with risk of future CKD, with prior HDPs being more likely to experience evidence of CKD over periods of postpartum follow-up. Routine screening of women following HDP-complicated pregnancies should be part of a postpartum monitoring program to identify women at higher risk. Future research should report on both the eGFR and total urinary albumin excretion to enable detection of women at risk of future deterioration of renal function.
