UA, UN, and USG levels were measured during the 16– 18th week of gestation. GDM was diagnosed by an oral 75 g glucose tolerance test during the 24– 28th week of gestation.Results: A multivariate adjusted logistic regression analysis showed that UA levels in the highest quartile increased the risk of GDM by 55.7% (odds ratio [OR]: 1.557, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.055– 2.298; p = 0.026) compared to those in the lowest quartile. USG levels in the second, third, and fourth quartiles increased the risk of GDM by 67.6% (95% CI: 1.090– 2.421), 112.4% (95% CI: 1.446– 3.119), and 94.5% (95% CI: 1.314– 2.880), respectively, compared to those in the first quartile (p trend = 0.001). No significant association between UN levels and the GDM risk was observed. When the extreme composite biomarker score quartiles were compared, the adjusted OR (95% CI) for GDM was 1.909 (95% CI: 1.332– 2.736). Age-stratified analyses revealed similar results in women aged ≤ 35 years only, but not in those aged > 35 years.Conclusion: Higher levels of UA and USG and a higher composite kidney function biomarker score during the 16– 18th week of gestation were positively and independently associated with an increased risk of GDM.Keywords: uric acid, urea nitrogen, urine specific gravity, gestational diabetes mellitus, retrospective cohort study |
