Abstract

Objectives: To investigate the plasma uric acid concentration and its relationship with clinical and paraclinical characteristics in pregnant women. Methods: A prospective, cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 80 pregnant women at Military Hospital 103. Results: The mean uric acid concentration was 262.91 ± 45.49 µmol/L (126 - 380 µmol/L). The percentage of pregnant women with increased uric acid concentration was 3.8%. The mean uric acid concentration in the group with fetal weight smaller than gestational age was lower than that in the group of fetuses with normal weight (239.05 ± 51.41 µmol/L vs. 268.42 ± 42.56 µmol/L; p < 0.05); The mean uric acid concentration was significantly higher in the group with increased blood glucose concentration after 1 hour of the glucose tolerance test (307.52 ± 41.02 µmol/L vs. 259.94 ± 44.44 µmol/L, p < 0.05). Uric acid concentration was inversely correlated with serum potassium concentration (r = -0.26; p < 0.05). There was no association between uric acid concentration, maternal age, blood pressure, weight, and liver enzymes in pregnant women. Conclusion: The mean uric acid concentration in pregnant women was 262.91 ± 45.49 µmol/L, plasma uric acid concentration was related to potassium concentration, fetal weight for age, and blood glucose levels after 1 hour of the glucose tolerance test.
