Significance - findings regarding the presence of xanthine oxidase and uric acid in different blood locations may provide a scientific basis for understanding the source of them in preeclamptic women. Aim - detecting Xanthine oxidase and uric acid levels in both umbilical cord artery and vein as well as maternal blood (3 "locations"). Methods - samples will be collected from pregnant women with and without diagnosis of preeclampsia with blood uric acid \> 6 mg/dL. Than the study population will be divided into groups matching the three "locations". The investigators will describe and compare outcome levels (including Xanthine oxidase, uric acid).
