<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>

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

Background: Non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) is the commonest form of ACS and a leading global cause of premature morbidity and mortality. Evidences link serum uric acid with short and long-term major adverse outcomes (MACE) in patients with NSTEMI. Objective: To see in-hospital outcome of NSTEMI patients with raised serum uric acid level. Methodology: This cross-sectional observational study was conducted in the Department of Cardiology, Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College Hospital, Sylhet during the period from July, 2017 to June, 2019. Fifty NSTEMI patients with raised serum uric acid (>7mg/dl in male; >6mg/dl in female) level (Group A) and fifty NSTEMI patients with normal serum uric acid level (group B) admitted within 24 hours of symptom onset were consequently enrolled. In-hospital complications and mortality were recorded while continuing standard treatment for the event. Results: The mean age was 60.82 (SD 9.62) years in group A and 49.90 (SD 10.40) years in group B. The mean age of the patients of group A was significantly higher than patients of Group B (p<0.001). Male preponderance was in both groups (84.0% versus 80.0%; p=0.603). Diabetes mellitus (52.0% versus 22.0%; p=0.002), hypertension (78.0% versus 52.0%; p=0.039) and dyslipidaemia (48.0% versus 12.0%; p<0.001) were more frequent in group A than that of group B. But smoking status (70.0% versus 66.0%; p=0.668), family history of CAD (10.0% versus 26.0%; p=0.476) did not differ significantly. Killip class did not differ significantly between group A and group B (p=0.127). In-hospital mortality was 5 (10.0%) patients in group A and 2 (4.0%) patients in group B; did not reach the level of significance (p>0.05) and complications such as post MI angina, cardiogenic shock, acute left ventricular failure, re-infarction, sinus tachycardia, sinus bradycardia, atrial flutter, atrial fibrillation, bundle branch block, ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation did not differ significantly between the two groups (p>0.05). Conclusion: There is no significant difference between in-hospital outcome (mortality and complications) of NSTEMI patients with raised and normal serum uric acid level.

Background: A raised serum uric acid is recognized as an unfavourable fetal outcome of pre-eclampsia. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between hyperuricemia and fetal outcome in preeclamptic patients. Methods: This observational study was carried out in the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics of BIRDEM General Hospital from July 2015 to June 2016. Fifty pre eclamptic pregnant women with hyperuricemia (group A) and 50 preeclamptic pregnant women with normal serum uric acid level (group B) were taken as study subjects. Data were analyzed by SPSS where p value less than 0.05 was considered significant. Results: Mean age of the patients was 25.88 ± 4.52 years and 24.30 ± 5.09 years in group A and group B respectively. Mean serum uric acid level was 7.19±0.62 mg/dl in group A and 4.83±0.73 mg/dl in group B. Maximum (66%) patients were primigravida in group A and 34% in group B. In this study, intra-uterine death (IUD) occurred in 4 (8%) cases in group A and in 1 (2%) case in group B, intra-uterine growth retardation (IUGR) was 20 (40%) cases in group A and 4 (8%) cases in group B, low birth weight was in 38 (76%) cases in group A and 21(42%) cases in group B. Occurrence of IUGR and low birth weight was significantly higher in group A than group B. APGAR score was significantly lower in group A (5.10±1.61) than that of group B (6.36±1.32). Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) referral was more in group A (60%) than group B (20%). Conclusion: It can be concluded that hyperuricemia is a predictor of poor fetal outcome in pre-eclamptic women. Birdem Med J 2019; 9(2): 117-120

Background: To Study Serum Uric Acid level elevation in Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy. Methods: 50 Patients diagnosed as having Pre-eclampsia with age between 18-37 years and 50 controls with similar age group. Results: The mean serum uric acid level in control group was 3.41 ± 0.62 and in patient 7.01 ± 0.58 which was statistically significant (p =0.001). Conclusion: Serum uric acid levels were significantly higher in preeclampsia could be a useful indicator of fetal complication in preeclampsia patients.
