Description
This book focuses on the role of uric acid as a predictive biomarker for preeclampsia, a hypertensive disorder affecting 5-10% of pregnancies. It delves into the pathophysiology of preeclampsia, emphasizing the early changes in pregnancy, particularly in the first trimester. The text discusses various biochemical markers, including serum uric acid, as potential predictors for the development and severity of preeclampsia. By examining studies and clinical research, the book explores the diagnostic potential of uric acid in identifying high-risk pregnancies, aiding in early intervention and targeted prophylaxis for improved maternal and fetal outcomes.
