The serum uric acid were determined in pregnancy, labour, puerperium and toxemias. The results were as follows.
(1) The serum uric acid levels increase up t o the termination of pregnancy and reach to the maximum levels after labour. But they decrease gradually in puerperium.
(2) Very high serum uric acid levels were observed in toxemia of pregnancy. In this case, the cause of hyperuricemia was thought to be due to the decrease of uric acid clearance.
