Determination of the blood uric acid levels is still a weak indicator in the evaluation of the prognosis of fetal distress when compared with materno and feto-placental vascular tests. Its diagnostic and prognostic value in case of maternal gravidic nephropathy could be improved by a specific uricase titration and initial determination at the beginning of the 2nd trimester. Elevated uric acid levels would therefore be undeniably helpful in selecting the form of treatment.
