title: Platelets and uric acid in the prediction of preeclampsia.
abstract: Fifty-four pregnancies that were subsequently complicated by preeclampsia had platelet parameters and uric acid levels measured during pregnancy. The expected fall in platelet count and rise in platelet volume parameters and uric acid levels beyond those that occur in normal pregnancy were seen only in the week before delivery.
