Liver and renal function parameters, bleeding profile, urinary microalbumin secretion rates and blood pressures were assessed. Student’s t test, Mann-Whitney U test and Spearman’s correlation analysis were used as statistical methods. A p value less than 0.05 was considered significant.<br />RESULTS: Mean urinary microalbumin secretion rate was significantly higher in the study group than in controls (481.54±36.36 mg/lt v s 69.13±15.92 mg/lt). Platelets, liver function parameters and serum creatinine levels did not show any significant difference between groups (p>0.05). We found no correlation<br />among microalbuminuria, blood pressure and fetal outcome (p>0.05).<br />CONCLUSIONS: Microalbuminuria may be used in the diagnosis of preeclampsia. We found no correlation with pregnancy outcome.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Gynecology Obstetrics & Reproductive Medicine}, author={Şen Özyer, Şebnem and Tapısız, Ömer and Güngör, Emre Sinan and Möröy, Perran and Mollamahmutoğlu, Leyla and Danışman, Nuri}, year={2006}, month={Aug.}, pages={106–108} }
