Objectives: Study was designed to find out the Correlation of serum uric acid with renal function parameters in Preeclampsia. Study Design: Cross Sectional study. Setting: Sir Ganga Ram Hospital Lahore. Period: July 2016 to July 2017. Material & Methods: Level of serum uric acid, serum creatinine and blood urea of 40 Preeclamptic women and 30 gestation-matched normotensive controls were estimated. Their Demographic and clinical characteristics were noted. The blood sample was analyzed for biochemical parameters, blood urea, serum uric acid, serum creatinine and urinary protein. Result: Mean age and gestational age of women was 25 weeks with BMI 29 Kg/m2. Level of serum uric acid and blood urea and serum creatinine were increased, but significant difference only observed with serum uric acid and blood urea with marked proteinuria. An inverse relationship of serum uric acid with urinary protein was observed. A direct relationship, of serum uric acid with serum creatinine was observed.
