ABSTRACT

Introduction: tubular lesion may cause acute renal insufficiency in pregnant patients with severe preeclampsia.
Objective: To describe the correlation between the amylase/creatinine clearance ratio and endogenous creatinine depuration in pregnant patients with severe preeclampsia.
Material and method: transversal study (pilot study) twenty eight women with pregnancies of 20 to 40 weeks complicated by severe preeclampsia were studied. Subjects had serum and urine creatinine and amylase determinations to calculate the amylase/creatinine clearance ratio (%). According to the results, two groups were formed: group A (› 3%) and group B (≤ 3%). The correlation between amylase/creatinine clearance ratio and endogenous creatinine depuration was evaluated. Statistical analysis: measures of central tendency and dispersion, Student’s t-test, Pearson correlation coefficient (r) and linear regression were used.
Results: group A included 23 cases (82%) and group B included 5 cases (18%). Amylase/creatinine clearance ratio (%) for group A was 5.22 ± 1.6 and for group B was 2.41 ± 0.41 (p = 0.001). The endogenous creatinine depuration (mL/min./1.73 m² SC) for group A was 105.6 ± 9.71 and for group B was 132.10 ± 7.95 (p = 0.54). The r between amylase/creatinine clearance ratio and endogenous creatinine depuration for group A was – 0.43 and for group B was -0.25.
Conclusions: a moderately significant negative correlation exists between amylase/creatinine clearance ratio and endogenous creatinine depuration.
