Determination of Iron Levels Increased in Serum from Gestational Diabetes Mellitus Mothers in Coastal Area of Andhra Pradesh, India | Chapter 24 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 4

 The increased risk of perinatal morbidity and mortality has been linked to gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). GDM affects about 7% of all pregnancies in the United States. It is critical to diagnose gestational diabetes mellitus in order to identify both children at risk of unfavourable outcomes and women at risk of diabetes later in life. The goal of this study was to see if there was a link between serum iron, phosphorous, and haemoglobin levels in women with gestational diabetes mellitus who had carbohydrate tolerance and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).

Methods: A total of 100 pregnant women between the ages of 24 and 28 weeks were screened for glucose tolerance and gestational diabetes mellitus. Fasting glucose, post-load glucose, serum iron, serum phosphorous, and haemoglobin were all measured in all 100 pregnant women in this study. The study was conducted in partnership with the biochemistry department of the OBG department.

In this investigation, the prevalence of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus was discovered to be 8%. Both fasting and post-serum glucose levels are excessively high in women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus. Mothers with gestational diabetes mellitus have a greater serum iron level, which is connected to carbohydrate tolerance, according to our findings. However, there was no relationship between phosphorus and haemoglobin levels in GDM moms.

In the current study, elevated serum iron levels were observed to be associated to the development of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus. Phosphorus and haemoglobin concentrations in the blood have not altered considerably.
