Abstract
To study serum Human uric acid levels in pre-eclamptic and normotensive pregnant females.
Study Design: Case control study.
Methodology: The study was divided into two groups (Group I and Group II).
Group I included the cases i.e. pre-eclamptic females of gestation of >20 wks
Group II included the controls i.e. normotensive pregnant females of same gestation. The serum uric acid levels were evaluated in the two groups.
Results: The mean Serum uric acid in the study group were 6.008 ± 0.942 mg% against 4.175± 0.627 mg% in control group, p value was <0.001 which was foud to be highly significant.
