The prediction of preeclampsia by the urinary calcium/creatinine ratio during the early third trimester was assessed in 190 primigravidas, aged less than 35 years and between 28 and 32 weeks' gestation without pregnancy complications. Preeclampsia developed in 6.8% of the patients. The mean maternal age, gestational age at entry into the study and at delivery, and the average mean arterial blood pressure at entry into the study did not differ significantly between the 13 patients with subsequent preeclampsia and the 177 normotensive patients. The patients with preeclampsia did not have significantly less excretion of calcium than the normotensives.

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.

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.
