Lone hyperuricemia during pregnancy: maternal and fetal outcomes
1Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Tenon's Hospital, Paris, France.
Objective:
Study of maternal and fetal consequences of lone hyperuricemia during pregnancy and demonstration that lone hyperuricemia is not a risk factor regarding the onset of preeclampsia.
Study Design:
Retrospective study of two groups of women, one found to have lone hyperuricemia during pregnancy (n=102) and the others with normal serum uric acid levels (n=100).
Results:
The only consequence identified of the lone hyperuricemia was a lower birth weight of children born to mothers found to have lone hyperuricemia for more than 2 weeks (P<0.05).
Conclusions:
Lone hyperuricemia is not a risk factor regarding the onset of preeclampsia. It is therefore unnecessary to measure serum uric acid level during a normal pregnancy.
