As a antenatal care, periodical routine blood and urine examination and checking blood pressure is a important tool for early detecting preeclampsia, eclamsia or toxemia in pregnant women.
It is"well documented that the babys born from toxemic mother is a one of the high risk infant because of preterm or low birth weight for gestational age.
Author attempted to determine the relation of maternal urine findings to the birth weight, 963 newborn infants were studied during the period of Jan. 1, 1974 to June 30, 1976.
The results obtained were as follows:
1. Among 1685 pregnant women, positive proteinuria was found in 954 cases, 56.6%, and 70.8% for toxemic mother.
2. Incidence of toxemia was 19.8% for positive proteinuria group and 10.67% for negative group.
3. Overall average birth weight of infants was 3.250.58kg in male, 3.140.59kg in female. Infants born from mother with positive proteinuria was 3.280.66kg in male, 3.170.63kg in female, while birth weight of proteinuria negative mother´s baby had 3.170.63kg in male, 3.110.62kg in female.
4. There was no significant differance between infant´s birth weight and degree of maternal proteinuria with age, parity of mother or gestational age.
5. Cesarean section rate was slightly increased in baby born from mother with positive proteinuria mother (6.4%).
6 There was no correlation between twin pregnancy and maternal proteinuria.
7. Low Apgar score (0-4) was more frequently seen in the baby born from mother with positive proteinuria than without proteinuria.
8 The fetal death rate was slightly higher in baby born from mother with proteinuria but was not significant statistically.
