Uric acid (UA) levels are associated with many diseases including those related to lifestyle. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of clinical and anthropometric parameters on UA and xanthine (X) levels during pregnancy and postpartum in women with physiological pregnancy and pregnancy complicated by gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and to evaluate their impact on adverse perinatal outcomes. A total of 143 participants were included. Analyte levels were determined by HPLC with ultraviolet detection (HPLC-UV). Several single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in UA transporters were genotyped using commercial assays. UA levels were higher within GDM women with pre-gestational obesity, those in high-risk groups, and those who required insulin during pregnancy. X levels were higher in the GDM group during pregnancy and also postpartum. Positive correlations between UA and X levels with body mass index (BMI) and glycemia levels were found. Gestational age at delivery was negatively correlated with UA and X levels postpartum. Postpartum X levels were significantly higher in women who underwent caesarean sections. Our data support a possible link between increased UA levels and a high-risk GDM subtype. UA levels were higher among women whose glucose tolerance was severely disturbed. Mid-gestational UA and X levels were not linked to adverse perinatal outcomes.

Background: Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is associated with several adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes. Thus, screening for early detection of GDM and its treatment is important.Methods: This was hospital based descriptive study done over one year in department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, TUTH, Nepal. Six hundred ninety-seven women fulfilling the inclusion criteria were enrolled at 18-22 weeks of gestation. High risk factors were assessed and GCT was performed in women with risk factors during enrollment. Diagnostic OGTT was performed in women who screened positive (GCT ≥130mg/dl). Screen negative high-risk women were re-screened at 24-28 weeks. In women without known risk factors, GCT was performed at 24-28 weeks and OGTT was performed when screen positive. The diagnosis of GDM was made according to Carpenter and Coustan criteria.Results: Out of 697 enrolled women, 12 were excluded for various reasons and 685 women were analyzed. Women having risk of GDM were 28.9%. The prevalence of GDM was 2.92% and 2.48% with GCT cut off 130 mg/dl and 140 mg/dl respectively. Lowering the threshold to 130 mg/dl identified three extra cases (p=0.010). The prevalence among high risk group was 8.58% and 7.07% with the cut off value 130 mg/dl and 140 mg/dl respectively with three extra cases detected on taking cut off value 130 mg/dl (p=0.014). Among low risk women the prevalence of GDM was same i.e. 0.61% with both the cut off values.Conclusions: Lowering threshold of GCT to 130 mg/dl could identify significant percentage of extra cases of GDM especially in high risk women.
