Lone hyperuricemia during pregnancy: maternal and fetal outcomes.
OBJECTIVE
Study of maternal and fetal consequences of lone hyperuricemia during pregnancy and demonstration that lone hyperuricemia is not a risk factor regarding the onset of preeclampsia.


METHODS
Retrospective study of two groups of women, one found to have lone hyperuricemia during pregnancy (n=102) and the others with normal serum uric acid levels (n=100).


RESULTS
The only consequence identified of the lone hyperuricemia was a lower birth weight of children born to mothers found to have lone hyperuricemia for more than 2 weeks (P<0.05).


CONCLUSIONS
Lone hyperuricemia is not a risk factor regarding the onset of preeclampsia. It is therefore unnecessary to measure serum uric acid level during a normal pregnancy.
