Revisiting the link between abnormal uric acid levels and gestational diabetes mellitus: A systematic review

Abstract

Rise in uric acid (UA) levels is linked with inferior pregnancy outcomes; nevertheless, there is absence of proof at the moment to propose that high uric acid levels are related to a high likelihood of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). As a result, to discuss the link of rise in UA during pregnancy with the chance of having GDM.The articles have been chosen from the databases PubMed, Embase and Scopus. We discussed all applicable publications that explored the interrelation between serum UA and GDM, accompanying the formerly recorded articles. Other articles independent of this field are refrained from. This systematic review exhibited a bond between GDM and serum UA levels.Further research can positively enable the support of prompt identification. Deleterious effects on the mother-foetus duo could be kept away by managing gestational diabetes during early stage.
