Abstract Perfect discrimination at any early stage of pregnancy between who remain normotensive and those who later on develop pregnancy induced hypertension is a goal to maximise the safety of the mother and baby from hypertensive disorder complications. Many clinical, biophysical and biochemical tests have been recommended for predicting the development of preeclampsia. The findings of numerous studies have been inconsistent and contradictory, owing to the heterogenecity of the studied populations and variations in the defmitions used for hypertensive disorders during pregnancy and in methods used to express results. In this study, the urinary calciumlcreatinine ratio, microalbuminuria, mean arterial blood pressure and the roll over test have been proposed to predict the development of pregnancy induced hypertension. from the results, it can be concluded that: Preeclampsia was associated with hypocalciuria. Urinary calcium excretion is considerably lower in preeclampsia. Expression of the hypocalciuria as urinary calcium/creatinine ratio in early fasting morning samples were used as a predictive test for subsequent development of preeclampsia. Urinary calciqmlcreatinine ratio S0.05 was a good predictor of preeclampsia before the appearance of clinical manifestations. 2. Proteinuria of preeclampsia is usually preceded by a rise in urinary excretion of the albumin (microalbuminuria). Microalbuminuria 13.12 ug/ml gives useful values as a predictor test for preeclampsia. |
