Methods and materials: This cross sectional study was conducted in Dhaka Medical College Hospital in eclampsia ward of gynae & Obs department during the period from January 2010 to December 2011 with the objective to determine the serum uric acid level in preeclampsia, to compare the serum uric acid level between mild and sever preeclampsia and to find out any relationship of the serum uric acid level with hypertension in preeclampsia. The study group composed of 92 diagnosed case of preeclampsia patient. Out of the 92 cases, 42 had mild preeclampsia (group-A) and 50 had severe preeclampsia (group B). Result: The results of the study showed that the mean serum uric acid level was significantly higher in severe preeclampsia (6.91+1.02) compared to mild preeclampsia (4.99 + 0.80) and there is a positive and significant relationship of serum uric acid level with severity of hypertension in preeclampsia (p
