Bioelectrical Signals Detection of Hyperglycaemia and Hypertension
Hypertension and Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) are critical conditions that can significantly impact both maternal and fetal health during pregnancy.GDM, a form of diabetes first identified during pregnancy, impairs cell glucose utilisation, leading to elevated blood sugar levels.This condition not only jeopardises the pregnancy but also affects the unborn child's well-being.Effective management of GDM, through diet, exercise, and medication when necessary is crucial for maintaining maternal and fetal health and preventing complications during labour.The study examined Iraqi pregnant women's hypertension and GDM rates and development.These circumstances were detected and monitored using bioelectrical impedance analysis.The study sampled 12 pregnant women for blood pressure, glucose, and bioimpedance measurements.The study found that gestational age raised blood pressure and glucose, indicating hypertension and hyperglycemia.Bioimpedance varied with frequency and gestational age.These findings highlight the potential benefits of early screening and intervention for pregnancy-related health issues.An oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) with a 75g glucose challenge was used between 24 and 28 weeks of gestation.The study included 12 women from Al-Elwea Maternity Hospital, averaging 22.55 5.3 years old.The results showed differences in amniotic fluid index, positive CRP in all patients, and pulse rates between 95-115 beats per minute.All individuals had positive cardiotocography (TOCO) and foetal heart rates of 130-140 beats per minute.Blood pressure ranged from 110/70 to 140/85 mmHg, and blood glucose levels averaged 133-161 mmol/l over four post-OGTT periods.Bioelectrical impedance was 3.805-6.03ohms, with phase angles of 9.469-15.037degrees.The study emphasises early detection and treatment of hypertension and GDM in pregnant Iraqi women.Bioelectrical impedance analysis is an innovative way to detect and monitor these disorders.Early screening and treatment can reduce pregnancy problems.
