[The prognostic value of raised uric acid in the blood in arterial hypertension in pregnancy. 58 cases (author's transl)]. 1979

The authors have carried out research in 58 cases to see whether the findings of high uric acid levels in the blood are of prognostic value in all cases of arterial hypertension in pregnancy whatever the aetiology. The material studied consisted of 30 true cases of toxaemia of pregnancy, 13 cases of recurrent toxaemia and 15 cases of the vasculo-renal syndrome on top of the pre-existing pathological condition. In 37 cases where the blood uric acid level was lower than 300 micromoles there were only 4 minor complications. Serious complications were found in 6 cases in which the patients had a blood uric acid level highthan 480 micromoles. This study confirms the prognostic value of blood uric acid levels. The estimation of these levels, however, seems to be of less value in making a differential diagnosis between the various kinds of toxaemia and hypertension found in pregnant women due to different aetiologies.

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.
