Abstract
Objective. To determine the significance of urine albumin / creatinine ratio (UACR) as to predict proteinuria in new-onset hypertension and uric acid in women with preeclampsia and its comparison with healthy normotensive pregnant women. Methods. Healthy normotensive pregnant women (n = 45), women with preeclampsia (n = 36) were included in the study. The preeclamptic group was further divided into two subgroups: mild (n = 25) and severe preeclampsia (n = 11). Results. Higher mean values of urine albumin / creatinine ratio (UACR) and uric acid were found in preeclamptic pregnant women (319.05 ± 247.56 mg/g, 5.98 ± 2.1 mg/dl) as compared to healthy normotensive pregnant women (22.15 ± 8.1 mg/g, 4.07 ± 0.91 mg/dl) in the third trimester with highly significant difference (p
