Abstract
The objectives of this study are to assess the effect of pregnancy (in the third
trimester) and pregnancy complicated by hypertension on renal function in
Sudanese pregnant women.
The study was carried out utilizing 83 women, including 30 non-pregnant
women and unmarried (control), 30 pregnant women at the third trimester, and
23 women with pregnancy complicated by hypertension. Their ages ranged from
17- 38 years.
Serum was analyzed for creatinine, urea, uric acid, albumin, calcium,
sodium, and potassium.
The group of normal pregnant women showed significantly (P< 0.05)
decreased concentrations of, creatinine, urea, albumin, and calcium, compared
to the non-pregnant women. However serum uric acid, sodium and potassium,
did not show any changes.
The group of women with pregnancy complicated by hypertension had
significantly (P< 0.05) increased concentrations of, creatinine, urea, uric acid,
and potassium compared to the normal pregnant women. Beside that the women
with pregnancy complicated by hypertension showed a significant (P< 0.05)
decrease in serum albumin and calcium compared to normal pregnant women.
While sodium did not show any significant change. When the women with
pregnancy complicated by hypertension were compared to the control, they
showed significantly (P< 0.05) increased concentrations of, creatinine, uric
acid, and significant (P< 0.05) decrease in serum albumin, and calcium, while
the serum urea, and electrolytes (sodium and potassium) did not show any
significant change.
