TABLE 4.

Uric acid ratio (UAr) in uncomplicated pregnancies, preeclampsia, gestational hypertension, and IUGR without preeclampsia.

	Uric acid ratio (UAr)
	Stage 2/1	Stage 3/1	Stage 4/1
Uncomplicated pregnancies	1.12 ± 0.02	1.22 ± 0.02	1.31 ± 0.03
Preeclampsia	1.63 ± 0.18	1.79 ± 0.21	2.17 ± 0.22
Gestational hypertension	1.32 ± 0.18	1.49 ± 0.17	1.67 ± 0.22
IUGR without preeclampsia	1.14 ± 0.07	1.36 ± 0.02	1.37 ± 0.11

Uric acid ratio was >1.5 in women with preeclampsia since the early stages of gestation. In women with gestational hypertension, UAr was >1.5 at the end of gestation. In non-complicated pregnancies and IUGR without preeclampsia, UAr was <1.5 during all gestation. Values are mean ± SEM.
