Of the patients with preeclampsia, 67.2% were considered without signs of severity and 32.8% with signs of severity; It was also found that 69.8% had a positive proteinuria / creatinuria index and 84.1% had uric acid with values higher than 4.5 mg/dL; proteinuria being greater in patients with eclampsia.
