Role of Maternal Lipid Profile and Cord Blood Lipid Profile in the GDM Mothers and their Infants
Abstract: BACKGROUND: Gestational Diabetes mellitus (GDM) is considered as one of the most common complication of pregnancy has major effects in mother and the child. Physiological maternal dyslipidemia normally occurs in pregnancy as an outcome for increased demand of nutrients to the fetus but GDM might be associated with further detrimental effects on the lipoprotein metabolism in the mother leading to dyslipidemia in the newborn. Hence serum lipid profile in childhood might be considered as a predictive factor for serum lipid level later in life. AIM: To study the role of maternal lipid profile and the cord blood lipid profile in the infants with GDM mothers. METHODOLOGY: Maternal blood was used to measure mother’s serum lipid profile. Cord blood sample from maternal side was also used to estimate lipid profile. The newborn birth weight and placental weight were also measured in 50 diagnosed cases of GDM and 50 controls. Statistical analyses was done using SPSS 21 software Results: There was a significant difference (p
