In order to evaluate renal tubular function, β 2 ‐microglobulin was measured in serum and urine from 15 patients with severe pre‐eclampsia and 13 normal pregnant women. in the pre‐eclamptic group, the serum β 2 ‐microglo‐bulin level was significantly higher (p <0.05) and urinary excretion/2411 significantly lower (p<0.05), than in the normal pregnant group. A positive linear correlation between serum uric acid and β 2 ‐microglobulin was observed both in the pre‐eclamptic group (r = 0.79, p<0.001) and in the normal pregnant group
