쌍태임신과 단태임신에서의 모체 혈청내 Uric Acid치의 비교

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 gestaions who are at higher for preeclampsia by a receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve.
