Abstract

The aim of our study was to evaluate the clinical utility of serum uric acid measurements in the hypertensive diseases of pregnancy. We performed a case-control study to assess the clinical utility of .serum uric acid measurements in women with hypertensive diseases of pregnancy. We identified 201 women who had serum uric acid measurements at term and categorized them into five diagnostic groups: transient hypertension at pregnancy (n=29), preeclampsia (n=42), chronic hypertension (n=28), chronic hypertension with superimposed preeclampsia (n=12), and normal (n=90). We compared the mean uric acid concentrations for each group and calculated the sensitivities and specificities in diagnosing preeclampsia as well as the likelihood ratios for serum uric acid values of 5.5, 6, and 6.5 mg/dl. The mean serum uric acid values for women with preeclampsia (6.33+1.53 mg/dl), transient hypertension (5.45+1.57 mg/dl) and superimposed preeclampsia (6.0± 1.97 mg/dl) were significantly higher than those of controls (4.38+0.91 mg/dl). The likelihood ratio of having preeclampsia with a serum uric acid value of 5.5 mg/dl was 1.89 in gestational hypertension of pregnancy and 1.94 in chronic hypertension. Although mean serum uric acid values are elevated in women with preeclampsia, the clinical utility of serum uric acid values in differentiating various hypertensive diseases of pregnancy appears to be limited. In the group with chronic hypertension, however, a serum uric acid level of = 5.5 mg/dl could identify women with an increased.likelihood of having superimposed preeclampsia.

Özet

Çalışmamızın amacı hipertansif gebelerde serum ürik asit ölçümlerinin klinik yararını değerlendirmekti. Hipertansif gebe kadınlarda serum ürik asit ölçümlerinin klinik yararını değerlendirmek, için vaka kontrollü bir çalışma gerçekleştirdik. Termde ürik asit ölçümü yapılan 201 gebe kadın belirledik ve bunları 5 tanı grubuna ayırdık: geçici hipertansiyon (n=29), preeklampsi (n=42), kronik hipertansiyon (n=28), kronik hipertansiyon üzerine gelişmiş (süperimpoze) preeklampsi (n=12) ve normal (n=90). Her grup için ortalama ürik asit konsantrasyonlarını karşılaştırdık ve preeklampsiyi belirlemedeki sensitivite, spesifisite ile 5.5, 6 ve 6.5 mg/dl ürik asit değerleri için likelihood ratio (LR) değerlerini hesapladık. Preeklampsili, geçici hipertansiyonlu ve süperimpoze preeklampsili kadınlardaki ortalama serum ürik asit değerleri (sırasıyla 6.33±1.53 mg/dl, 5.45+1.57 mg/dl ve 6.0+1.92 mg/dl) kontrol-grubundan (4.38±0.91 mg/dl) daha yüksekti. 5.5 mg/dl'lik serum ürik asit düzeyinde preeklampsi gelişmesine ait LR değerleri gestasyonel hipertansiyonda 1.89, kronik hipertansiyondan ise 1.94 idi. Preeklampsili kadınlarda ortalama serum ürik asit değerleri yükselse de gebeliğin çeşitli hipertansif hastalıklarını ayırt etmedeki klinik yararı sınırlı görünmektedir. Bununla birlikte kronik hipertansiyon grubunda 5.5 mg/dl ve üzerindeki bir ürik asit değeri süperimpoze preeklampsi gelişme riski artmış olan kadınları ortaya çıkarabilir.
