The amount of urinary calcium excretion is an useful marker for distinction between patient with preeclampsia and normal pregnancy of chronic hypertension has been reported. This study was performed to investigate the extent and the etiology of decrease in urinary calcium excretion in toxemia of pregnancy. The subjects in this study were 20 patients with severe toxemia of pregnancy (group T) and 20 subjects with normal pregnancy (group N). In these subjects, serum calcium (s-Ca), phosphate (s-Pi) and uric acid (s-UA) and urinary calcium (u-Ca), phosphate (u-Pi) and uric acid (u-UA) were measured. The values of u-Ca and u-Pi in the group T were significantly decreased than the group N (p less than 0.001, p less than 0.01). The values of s-Ca and s-Pi made no distinction between group T and group N. There was significant relationships between u-Ca and, s-UA (r = -0.70), clearance of UA (r-0.82), Ccr (r = 0.64), and FEca: Cca/Ccr (r = 0.87). These results indicated that the decrease of u-Ca was evident in severe toxemia of pregnancy. And the decrease of u-Ca has resulted from increase of tubular reabsorption. The change of u-Ca of patients with toxemia was studied. After the onset of toxemia, u-Ca was decreased rapidly (less than 50 mg/day) and u-Ca was restored to the normal range (more than 100 mg/day) promptly after delivery. The value of u-Ca was over 100 mg/day in the second pregnancy that developed on toxemia of pregnancy among the cases who has severe toxemia in the first pregnancy. However, toxemia of pregnancy have relapsed in the case with low u-Ca excretion of less than 100 mg/day during the second pregnancy.

D011225 Pre-Eclampsia A complication of PREGNANCY, characterized by a complex of symptoms including maternal HYPERTENSION and PROTEINURIA with or without pathological EDEMA. Symptoms may range between mild and severe. Pre-eclampsia usually occurs after the 20th week of gestation, but may develop before this time in the presence of trophoblastic disease.

D011247 Pregnancy The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH. Gestation,Pregnancies
D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D014527 Uric Acid An oxidation product, via XANTHINE OXIDASE, of oxypurines such as XANTHINE and HYPOXANTHINE. It is the final oxidation product of purine catabolism in humans and primates, whereas in most other mammals URATE OXIDASE further oxidizes it to ALLANTOIN. 2,6,8-Trihydroxypurine,Ammonium Acid Urate,Monosodium Urate,Monosodium Urate Monohydrate,Potassium Urate,Sodium Acid Urate,Sodium Acid Urate Monohydrate,Sodium Urate,Sodium Urate Monohydrate,Trioxopurine,Urate,Acid Urate, Ammonium,Acid Urate, Sodium,Acid, Uric,Monohydrate, Monosodium Urate,Monohydrate, Sodium Urate,Urate Monohydrate, Monosodium,Urate Monohydrate, Sodium,Urate, Ammonium Acid,Urate, Monosodium,Urate, Potassium,Urate, Sodium,Urate, Sodium Acid
