Serum Uric Acid and Plasma Glucose Levels in Normal Pregnancy

Abstract: There are existing reports of an association of uric acid with glucose metabolism and their impact on adverse pregnancy outcomes. Hyperuricemia is linked to glucose homeostasis and basically to all components of the metabolic syndrome in the general population. Based on this premise, our study aimed at determining the level of serum uric acid and plasma glucose in second and third-trimester normal pregnancies with a view of establishing cut off values in Makurdi, Nigeria.

“…Uric acid levels in pregnant women without comorbidities will change after the gestational age enters the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, namely around more than 20 weeks of gestation (Ayu & Isaac, 2019). To examine the rise in uric acid levels throughout pregnancy, we divided pregnant women based on maternal age, gestational age, BMI, increase in blood pressure.…”
