Hyperuricemia, Preeclampsia, Nonvegetarian Diet (Purine)
Background: Pre-eclampsia is one of the most important cause of maternal and foetal mortality. Uric acid as an important biomarker in hypertension in pregnancy. It is a product of purine degradation catalysed by the enzyme xanthine oxidase. Uric acid is a marker of oxidative stress, tissue injury and renal dysfunction and therefore might be helpful in the prediction of complications of PE. Nonvegetarian diet major source of Purines tends to increase serum uric acid level which is also risk for developing Preeclampsia. Methods:Case control study was carried out at tertiary centre, IGGMC, Nagpur. A total of 50 normotensive pregnant women in third trimester of pregnancy attending Biochemistry OPD were taken as study subjects(control) while 50 Preeclampsia patients admitted in OBGY ward was taken as cases. Diet history was taken & serum uric acid level was estimated & compared. Results: Our results shows increase serum uric acid level in Preeclampsia compared to normotensive pregnant women which is statistically significant.Another finding in our study is nonvegetarian diet tends to develop hyperuricemia which is again risk factor for developing Preclampsia. Conclusion : A positive correlation was observed between rise in serum uric acid level and Preeclampsia. (p <0.05) .Nonvegetarian Preeclampsia women shows increase level of serum uric acid which is statistically significant.So reducing risk factors like controlling & preventing diet rich in purines in early pregnancy can prevent hyperuricemia & further development of Preeclampsia
