“…But, the increment was not enough to dictate establishment of separated RIs. Our finding is in contradiction with a previous study that reported no association in between maternal parity and maternal electrolyte levels [18]. Thus, we recommend further investigation concerning the impact of parity on fetal electrolytes levels particularly of Cl - levels.…”

BackgroundTo generate clinically applicable reference intervals (RIs) for commonly requested electrolytes in Ethiopian newborns and infants that can help in early detection, close monitoring and correction of electrolyte abnormalities. Cord blood (from newborns, n = 60) and venous blood samples (from infants, n = 57) were collected and analyzed using direct ISE analyzer, AVL (9181). MedCalc® software was applied to determine the robust upper and lower end points covering 95% of the reference values of each electrolyte with respective 90% CIs.FindingsThis is an extension report of our recent study; and hence is resulted from the same data source. The level of Na+ and K+ showed difference in newborns and infants even though combined RIs were suggested by the Haris and Boyd rule as 126–143 mmol/l and 4.0-7.9 mmol/l respectively. However, Cl- values failed to show such a difference and thus a combined RI was determined to be 100–111 mmol/l. Almost all maternal, neonatal and infantile factors were not able to affect the values of the electrolytes.ConclusionCombined RIs are suggested for the interpretation of electrolyte values in newborns and infants without taking the effect of maternal, neonatal and infantile factors into account. Since the RIs were different from previously reported values, it will be appropriate to apply such RIs for the interpretation of electrolyte values in Ethiopian pediatric population.

“…The study also shows a high number of low potassium and calcium. This agrees with the findings of Obembe et al, 7 who reported that potassium wastage is expected in pregnancy because pregnant women eat and excrete normal quantities of sodium yet have a high aldosterone and mineralocorticoids.…”

Serum Electrolytes Levels in Third Trimester Pregnant Women: A Case-Control Study in Diyala Province in Iraq

Mineral ions known as electrolytes govern the osmolality of interior biological systems and losing them can be deadly. Electrolyte imbalances have been linked to a wide range of pregnancy health issues, including contractility of smooth muscle, spasms of the muscles, and body aches, as well as heart palpitation, breathing difficulties, cardiac dysrhythmia (which can cause cardiac arrest or paralysis of the lungs), chronic kidney disease, and hypertension. As the third trimester is the critical period in pregnant accompanied with complications like preeclampsia this study designed for investigating electrolytes levels (calcium, potassium, sodium, phosphate, chloride) in 3rd trimester of normal Iraqi pregnant women compared with non-pregnant women as control group. This study is the first case-control study on pregnant women carried out in Diyala Province in Iraq highlighting electrolytes imbalance associated with pregnancy, it was carried out in Al-Batool Hospital during the month of February 2021in Diyala/ Iraq, on 30 pregnant women in 3rd trimester (27.04 ± 2.130 years), as well as a control group of 30 non-pregnant women, where serum electrolyte are measured for each group. When compared to the control group, the results of the current study demonstrate a significant decrease in serum calcium, potassium, and sodium in the third trimester pregnant group, while there are no significant differences in chloride and phosphate levels between two groups. This research found a significant difference in serum electrolytes concentrations in last stages of pregnancy women, particularly for potassium and calcium, Electrolytes testing may be included as one of the standard and universal tests conducted during pregnancy to prevent fetal-maternal morbidity and mortality due to electrolytes.
