Abstract
Aim: To determine role of urinary calcium to urinary creatinine ratio in prediction of preeclampsia. Material and method: In pregnancy there is physiological dilatation of ureter which can hold upto 200 ml of urine and incomplete bladder emptying as a result of enlarging uterus, both of which cause significant collection errors. These errors can be avoided by adequate hydration to maintain urine flow and standardisation of technique at the beginning and end of collection. Ideally urine catheter should be placed, which is impractical and not generalisable, practically out of patient setting. Results: There were 64.35% patient in age group 18 -22 yrs, 32.17% patients in age group 23-27yrs, 1.74%in>28yrs age. According to parity, there were 67.83%primipara and 32.17 multipara. Conclusion: In patients with previous history of pre eclampsia 73% developed PIH in present pregnancy and 33.33 % had CCR ratio < 0.04.
