| Abstract |
|
This study was undertaken to
establish normative values of serum uric acid levels in women with twin pregnancy and to compare maternal serum uric acid levels of twins and singletons; stratified by the presence or absence of preeclampsia.
With or without preeclampsia; women carrying twins have significantly higher serum uric acid levels than their singleton counterparts; which suggests a need for separate normative values for twin gestations.
We proposed that a serum uric acid level of 5.8 mg/dL or greater be used to identify those women with twin gestations who are at higher for preeclampsia by a receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve.
