Abstract:
OBJECTIVES: To compare the systematic evaluations in hospitalization of mildly preeclamptic women whose placental dysfunction was exacerbated with those whose placental dysfunction was not exacerbated. METHODS: There were seventy six mildly preeclamptic women after systematic evaluations in hospitalization, in which twenty eight women showed exacerbated placental dysfunction. Outcome markers considered suggestive of exacerbation of placental dysfunction included oligohydramnios (amniotic fluid index less than 5 cm), clinical diagnosis of intrapartum fetal distress and progression to severe preeclampsia. A clinical diagnosis of fetal distress was made when the monitoring revealed recurrent late, persistent tachycardia with loss of variability or prolonged decelerations. RESULTS: There were no significant differences in the amount of 24 hours urine protein, the concentrations in serum protein, creatinine, aspartate transaminase and alanine transaminase and hematocrit. But in exacerbated group, the concentrations of serum albumin and urine creatinine and creatinine clearance were significantly lower and the concentrations of serum uric acid and lactate dehydrogenase were significantly higher than not exacerbated group. CONCLUSION: In mildly preeclamptic women diagnosed after systematic evaluation in hospitalization, we must give attention to those whose concentrations of serum albumin and urine creatinine and creatinine clearance are low and concentrations of serum uric acid and lactate dehydrogenase are high.
