ABSTRACT
Objective: To determine the correlation of uric acid and creatinine in pregnant patients
with severe preeclampsia to identify its clinical utility.
Material and Method: cross-sectional study that included 100 pregnant patients
with severe preeclampsia. Blood levels of uric acid and creatinine were recorded
upon admission to calculate the correlation of the general means and by categories.
(Normal uric acid ≤ 4 mg/dL, hyperuricemia › 4 mg/dL and extreme hyperuricemia
≥7 mg/dL vs normal creatinine ≤ 0.9 mg/dL, hyperazotemia › 0.9 mg/dL and extreme
hiperazoemia ≥ 1.1 mg/dL). Descriptive statistics, Student's T-test, Confidence intervals
(CI) and Pearson's correlation coefficient were used with the statistical program
SPSS version 20.
Results: 100 patients with severe preeclampsia were studied. The general average
of uric acid was 5.52 ± 1.43 mg / dL; 85% had hyperuricemia and 17% extreme hyperuricemia.
The general average of creatinine was 0.77 ± 0.25 mg / dL; 18% resulted
with hyperazotemia and 14% with extreme azotemia.
Conclusions: Uric acid and creatinine showed positive correlations. It was found
that the greater the degree of hyperuricemia, the greater the deterioration of renal
function. Both markers can be complemented to identify acute kidney injury in severe
preeclampsia.
