Description of intervention(s) / exposure
As part of the routine follow-up in the ante-natal clinics, the urine sample taken from the pregnant women for urine albumin assessment at 12 weeks` and 30 weeks` gestation, and will be used for the assessment of the calcium-creatinine ratio after informed consent.
Intervention code [1] 299909 0
Early Detection / Screening
Comparator / control treatment
The study will include women between 20-40 years old, attending the ante-natal clinic of during the period from May 2018 till May 2019 after informed consent, and approval of the Obstetrics department .
A complete obstetrical history, clinical examination, the necessary investigations will be done to exclude other conditions affecting urinary calcium/creatinine ratio.
As part of the routine follow-up in the ante-natal clinics, the urine sample taken from the pregnant women for urine albumin assessment, will be used for the assessment of the calcium-creatinine ratio after informed consent. Follow–up of the studied women till delivery; women who will develop preeclampsia will constitute the study group, and other normotensive women without preeclampsia will constitute the controls.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 304284 0
Primary outcome measures; the accuracy of calcium-creatinine ratio (CCR) in spot urine sample in prediction of preeclampsia.
Timepoint [1] 304284 0
The calcium-creatinine ratio (CCR) in spot urine sample will detected for all women attending the antenatal clinic and agreed to participate in the study within 5 minutes, and will be recorded, the participants will followed up till delivery.
Whole women (study and controls) included in the study from May 2018 till May 2019 will be followed-up till delivery.
At time of admission to the hospital, and/or delivery; the participants [study and controls], will classified to normotensive [controls] women, and pre-eclampsia [study] women.
The calcium-creatinine ratio (CCR) in spot urine sample taken during the antenatal care will compared in normotensive and pre-eclampsia women at delivery to detect the accuracy of calcium-creatinine ratio (CCR) in spot urine sample in prediction of preeclampsia.
Secondary outcome [1] 343080 0
Previous preeclampsia as possible risks of preeclampsia.
Timepoint [1] 343080 0
Taking detailed Obstetrics history at the antenatal clinic during the antenatal follow up at approximately 30 weeks gestation.

Obesity as possible risk of preeclampsia.
Timepoint [2] 343083 0
Measuring the body mass index [BMI] at antenatal clinic at the time of inclusion in the study.
Secondary outcome [3] 343084 0
Hyperlipidaemia as possible risk of preeclampsia.
Using the serum assay of the lipid profile (Total cholesterol, Triglycerides. High density and low density lipoproteins).
Timepoint [3] 343084 0
Laboratory investigations during the antenatal follow up using the serum assay of the lipid profile (Total cholesterol, Triglycerides. High density and low density lipoproteins) during the antenatal follow up at approximately 30 weeks gestation. .

Statistical methods / analysis
The required sample size was calculated using G Power software version 3.17 for sample size calculation (Heinrich Heine Universität; Düsseldorf; Germany), setting a -error probability at 0.05, power (1- ß error probability) at 0.95%, and effective sample size (w) at 0.3. Collected data will statistically analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS); computer software version 20 (Chicago, IL, USA). Chi-square test (x2) for qualitative variables, student (t) test for comparison numerical variables to detect the accuracy of the CCR in spot urine sample in prediction of preeclampsia. The Odds ratio, and the relative risk analysis for detection of the possible risks factors for preeclampsia (nulliparity, previous preeclampsia, obesity, hyperlipidemia, twin, and molar pregnancies), and complications associated with preeclampsia (PTL and/or IUGR).
