Abstract
Background Pre-eclampsia is strongly associated with
hyperuricemia, and in some studies the increase in serum
uric acid has been found to correlate with both maternal
and fetal morbidity. The hyperuricemia is believed to result
primarily from the decreased renal excretion that occurs as
a consequence of the pre-eclampsia, and as such is widely
viewed as a marker for pre-eclampsia as opposed to
having a role in the pathogenesis
