Clinical Significance of Serum Uric Acid Level in Patients with Pregnancy-induced Hypertension Syndrome

Objective To investigate the changes of the serum uric acid levels in patients with pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) and its clinical significance. Methods The serum uric acid levels were detected in 62 patients with PIH and 48 normal pregnant women. Results The serum uric acid levels in patients with PIH were significantly higher than those of normal pregnant women (P0.01). And their newborns' weight was lower than the newborns of normal pregnant women (P0.01). The mortality of newborns was higher than newborns of normal pregnant women (P0.01). Conclusions The newborn's weight and the mortality of infants were related to the serum uric acid levels in patients with PIH. The patients' prognosis could be evaluated by measuring their serum uric acid levels.
