Background: The hyperuricaemia in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has been explained to be a component of the metabolic syndrome which reflects insulin resistance. Gestational huperuricaemia was found to be significantly associated with a high rate of maternal and foetal complications along with proteinuria and hypertension. Aims of this study were to evaluate the serum uric acid levels in Bangladeshi women with GDM in their second and third trimesters of pregnancy. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at Mymensingh Medical College Hospital from July 2013 to June 2014. Pregnant women, in their second and third trimester, attending the outpatient department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the Department of Endocrinology were enrolled by purposive sampling technique. GDM was diagnosed on the basis of oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) as defined in WHO criteria 2013. Results: Out of 172 participants, 86 had GDM (case) and 86 were normoglycemic (control). The mean age of GDM and control groups was 28.6±3.2 years and 27.3±3.1 years respectively. The BMI was 26.4±1.5 kg / m 2 and 26.3±1.3 kg / m 2. In this study we found serum uric acid levels in GDM and without GDM were 4.47±0.42 mg/dl and 4.48±0.41 mg/dl respectively (p>0.05). Serum uric acid level in GDM group was significantly (p<0.001) higher in third trimesters (4.48 ±0.41 mg/dl) compared to those without GDM (3.52 ±0.74 mg/dl). Conclusion: There was distinct alteration of serum uric acid level in GDM compared to normal pregnancy. Estimation of serum uric acid levels might be incorporated in every GDM cases for prevention of complications. Birdem Med J 2019; 9(1): 55-58

Abstract Background: Several epidemiologic studies have reported that high serum levels of uric acid are strongly associated with prevalent health conditions such as obesity, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, essential hypertension and renal disease. This study aimed to investigate the level of serum uric acid in Type 2 diabetes mellitus, pre-diabetics and non diabetics (controls) in south Indian population. Methods: Uric acid level was measured by Uricase-PAP methodology in patients with Diabetes (n=71)/Pre diabetes (n=12)/ Control groups (n=34). Using ANOVA test, uric acid levels in the above three groups were compared based on age, sex and other factors which can affect uric acid level. Results: The mean serum uric acid level was lower in control group (3.84mg/dl), rose in pre-diabetics (4.88mg/dl) and again decreased in diabetics (3.78mg/dl). P value comparing control and pre-diabetes was 0.009, p-value comparing pre-diabetes and diabetes was 0.003 and p-value comparing control and diabetes was 0.982 (p value <0.05 being significant). Conclusion: The serum uric acid level being higher in pre-diabetes than controls and lower in diabetes mellitus than pre-diabetes may serve as a potential inexpensive biomarker of deterioration of glucose metabolism.

Background: To Study Serum Uric Acid level elevation in Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy. Methods: 50 Patients diagnosed as having Pre-eclampsia with age between 18-37 years and 50 controls with similar age group. Results: The mean serum uric acid level in control group was 3.41 ± 0.62 and in patient 7.01 ± 0.58 which was statistically significant (p =0.001). Conclusion: Serum uric acid levels were significantly higher in preeclampsia could be a useful indicator of fetal complication in preeclampsia patients. Keywords: serum uric acid, preeclampsia, laboratory.
