dc.description.abstractIntroduction and Objectives Exploring the intricate interplay of serum uric acid and blood pressure offers critical insights into pregnancy- related hypertensive disorders. This study was conducted to determine whether if there is a statistically significant correlation between blood pressure and serum uric acid levels in pregnant women. Methods All the selected subjects were included and there were no dropouts. Study showed a significant positive correlation between serum uric acid levels with both systolic (r=0.864, p<0.001) and diastolic (r=0.739, p<0.001) blood pressures. In addition, statistically significant (p<0.001) positive correlation was observed between serum uric acid levels and systolic blood pressure among those with different body mass index (BMI) categories (underweight; r=0.955, normal; r=0.910, overweight; r=0.817, obesity; r=0.721) and gestational weeks (trimester) (second; r=0.780, third; r=0.878). Meanwhile, similar statistically significant (p<0.001) positive correlations between serum uric acid levels and diastolic blood pressure among different BMI categories (underweight; r=0.867, normal; r=0.625, overweight; r=0.772, obesity; r=0.650) and gestational weeks (trimester) (second; r=0.809, third; r=0.730) were observed. Conclusions Robust and significant positive correlations between serum uric acid with both systolic and diastolic blood pressures were observed. This suggests that uric acid can be used as a predictor of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy like pre-eclampsia in a wide range of pregnant women regardless of their characteristics like BMI and gestational period.en_US
