Abstract
Hypertensive disorders complicates about 5-10% of pregnancies. It is the third most common cause for maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. The objective of the study, is to predict preeclampsia in early pregnancy by urine spot protein creatinine ratio. The study was conducted in 300 antenatal women who attended the antenatal out-patient department. Random midstream urine sample was collected in women between 16 to 20 weeks of gestation and urine spot protein creatinine ratio was estimated. From this study, it was found that, out of 300 study population, about 21 women developed preeclampsia. The cut off point of urine spot PCR above which most of the patients developed preeclampsia is >0.45, with sensitivity of 85.71% and specificity of 99.64%. when the cut off value is reduced to >0.25,sensitivity is the same 85.71%, but the specificity reduces to 90.29%.
