Abstract

The incidence of gestational diabetes has increased significantly during the last years. Prior studies suggest that GDM is associated with elevated uric acid. Aim: To estimate the prevalence of hyperuricemia in gestational diabetes. Subject and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted on 221 pregnant females with gestational diabetes mellites underwent a structured interview.  Results: This study found that the mean serum uric acid of participants is (4.99±0.61) mg/dl with a range (3.6-6.8) mg/dl, with no cases of hyperuricemia. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that gestational diabetes mellitus is not associated with hyperuricemia.
