Sixty-four patients were assessed throughout pregnancy to determine normal serum uric acid levels (mean +/- 2SD). Serum uric acid levels increased significantly from early pregnancy levels of 0.13-0.33 nmol/L to levels of 0.18-0.45 mmol/L at full-term (p less than 0.005). Factors implicated in uric acid homeostasis contributing to these changes are discussed.
