<p><strong>Objective:</strong> The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between hematological changes in early pregnancy using complete blood count parameters and gestational diabetes mellitus.<br /><strong>Study Design:</strong> One hundred pregnant with gestational diabetes mellitus and one hundred healthy pregnant were included in the study. Blood samples for routine complete blood count parameters in first trimester of pregnancy were analyzed. <br /><strong>Results:</strong> In the gestational diabetes mellitus group white blood cell, platelet count, neutrophil and lymphocyte count, mean platelet volume, red cell distribution width were significantly higher than control group. However, there was no significant difference between groups with regard to neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and platelet to lymphocyte ratio levels. In binary logistic regression analysis; first trimester mean platelet volume and red cell distribution width values were found to be independently associated with diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus. <br /><strong>Conclusion:</strong> This study demonstrates that hematological parameters in first trimester of pregnancy are closely associated with gestational diabetes mellitus. The parameters that are routinely and automatically calculated in complete blood count; may be used to predict gestational diabetes mellitus.</p>

Objective. To determine the relationship between blood pressure measured during the first trimester of pregnancy and the risk of the development of gestational diabetes mellitus. Design and methods. A total of 209 pregnant women were screened for gestational diabetes mellitus between weeks 24 and 28 of gestation, as defined by WHO criteria. Blood pressure, weight and waist circumference data were obtained by review of the medical records. Results. An elevated blood pressure at first trimester of pregnancy was associated with a six-fold increase in the risk of the development of gestational diabetes mellitus (OR = 5.8, 95 % CI 1.9-17.5, p = 0.001) compared with non-hypertensive women. Arterial hypertension (including controlled forms) in the first trimester of pregnancy was followed by a three-fold (OR = 3.04, 95 % CI 1.5-6.3) increase in the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus compared with non-hypertensive women (p = 0.005). Conclusion. Obtained data indicate that women with elevated blood pressure in the first trimester of pregnancy have an increased risk of the development of gestational diabetes mellitus.
