Abstract
Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-specific disorder and one of the major causes of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide.
There have been many screening tests evaluated in the literature over the years for predicting preeclampsia.
Umbilical artery Doppler assessment has been shown to reduce perinatal mortality and morbidity in high-risk obstetric situations.
The umbilical arterial waveform usually has a "saw tooth" pattern with flow always in the forward direction, which is towards the placenta. An abnormal waveform shows absent or reversed diastolic flow.
Evidence supporting an inverse relationship between calcium intake and blood pressure has strengthened in the past decade.
The role of calcium in gestational hypertension is still not clear.
Increased uric acid level is a key clinical feature of preeclampsia; higher levels correlate with significant maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality.
AIM OF THE WORK
The aim of this work was to study the role of maternal serum uric acid and calcium versus Umbilical artery Doppler blood flow in preeclamptic patients at 28-30 weeks of gestation compared to Normotensive pregnant subjects at El-Shatby Maternity University Hospital.
