Relationship between serum cystatin C level and pregnancy complications and abnormal glucose tolerance at 6-week postpartum in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus

ConclusionThe increase of cystatin C in patients with GDM does not increase the risk of HDCP, but it does increase the risks of premature delivery, PROM, and abnormal glucose tolerance at 6-week postpartum. Cystatin C is a biological index that may be valuable in predicting the occurrence of these diseases in GDM patients. The independent risk factor of GDM complicating HDCP is MAP.
