The Role of Maternal ABO Blood Group and Malondialdehyde as Diagnostic marker in The Development of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

Conclusions: This research reveals that mother's ABO blood group has a role in the development of GDM and the blood group AB is more likely to develop GDM, blood group A & B are less likely to develop GDM and may be regarded as a protective factor. MDA can be used for the diagnosis of GDM but further studies are required to support this finding.
