Why the study?

Hypertension during pregnancy causes serious maternal and fetal consequences, and serum uric acid levels are proportional in pre-eclampsia, prompting investigation of mean levels during the second trimester.

Population

100 indoor pre-eclamptic women in the second trimester of pregnancy

Design

Descriptive cross-sectional study

Implication

Association in cross-sectional data supports biomarker research; leaves open prognostic value and clinical utility.

Structured PICO

Population

100 singleton pregnant females aged 20-40 years (mean age 32.20) with pre-eclampsia (BP>140/90mmHg and proteinuria 2+) in the second trimester (mean gestational age 22.11 weeks) at a single center in Pakistan. Exclusions: chronic hypertension, diabetes mellitus, renal disease, multiple pregnancy, or medications for raised uric acid.

Outcome

Mean serum uric acid levelssurrogate

Serum uric acid levels are elevated in women with preeclampsia during the second trimester, suggesting its potential utility as a biomarker for the condition.
