Comparison of Afamin Values in Umbilical Cord Blood After Delivery in Pregnancies With and Without Gestational Diabetes Mellitus.
Fetal and Pediatric Pathology 2024 January 9
OBJECTIVE: Afamin is a protein that increases in gestational diabetes but its concentration in neonates hasn't been investigated. Our objective is to compare cord blood afamin levels in neonates born to mothers with and without diabetes, and to explore its relationship with maternal and neonatal variables.
METHODS: In this case control study, umbilical cord blood was collected for afamin measurement in pregestational/gestational diabetic pregnancies ( n = 40) and healthy pregnancies ( n = 45) after delivery. Correlation analysis was conducted to examine the relationship between afamin levels and maternal BMI, age, HbA1c, fasting and postprandial blood glucose, gestational age, birth weight.
RESULTS: The diabetic group had a higher median afamin level ( p < 0.001). Afamin concentrations did not differ significantly between diabetic subgroups. The concentration of afamin in cord blood was independent of maternal BMI, age, HbA1c, blood glucose, gestational age, birth weight.
CONCLUSION: The concentration of afamin in cord blood of diabetic pregnancies is significantly higher, irrespective of other clinical factors.
