This test is crucial in ensuring the health of both the mother and the fetus during pregnancy. Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that occurs during pregnancy, typically around the 24th week. If not controlled properly, gestational diabetes can lead to dangerous complications for both the mother and the baby.

Through various test indicators such as Glucose fasting, Complete blood count and Urinalysis, doctors can assess the risks of gestational diabetes in mothers. This facilitates effective monitoring and management of pregnancy health.

Glucose (Fasting) Gestational Diabetes/OGTT

Glucose Fasting test is a blood test that measures blood sugar levels after not eating or drinking anything except water for at least 8 hours. It checks how well the body manages blood sugar and is commonly used to diagnose or monitor diabetes. Consistently high fasting glucose levels could indicate diabetes or prediabetes, suggesting the body has trouble regulating blood sugar. This test is crucial for catching early signs of blood sugar issues, allowing for prompt intervention to manage or prevent diabetes.

Glucose (1h) Gestational Diabetes/OGTT

In a glucose tolerance test, blood is taken after you fast for at least eight hours, typically overnight. After giving you a sweet drink, the technician will take blood samples over the next two to three hours. This helps patients with borderline fasting and postprandial glucose to support or rule out diabetes mellitus diagnosis. It also helps diagnose gestational diabetes during pregnancy.

Glucose (2h) Gestational Diabetes/OGTT

For a glucose tolerance test, blood is taken after eight hours of fasting. You will consume a sweet drink before the technician takes blood samples over the next one to three hours. This method is used in patients with borderline fasting and postprandial glucose to support or rule out diabetes mellitus. It also helps when diagnosing gestational diabetes during pregnancy.

ALAT

Evaluate liver function and detecting liver damage

Creatinine [Serum]

Creatinine is a waste product your muscles produce as part of everyday activities. Normally, your kidneys filter creatinine from your blood and send it out of the body in your urine. If there is a kidney problem, creatinine can build up in the blood, and less will be released in urine.

Complete Blood Count (CBC)

The test helps detect various diseases, including infections, anemia, immune system abnormalities, and hematological disorders.

Urinalysis (Urine Chemistry)

Evaluates general health status through analyzing urine indicators, thereby identifying the origins of diseases.

Urine Sediment

A semi-quantitative urine test used to measure and calculate indicators such as erythrocytes, platelets, leukocytes, urinary casts, etc. This test is important in diagnosing and monitoring kidney diseases, especially nephrotic syndrome.

Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)

eGFR estimates the amount of blood that passes through the glomeruli each minute, helping to assess kidney function.
