Biochemical Changes In The Third Trimester Of Pregnancy Of Women Attending Antenatal At Our Saviours Hospital, Olokoro, Umuahia:- Nnukwu, Godline C
ABSTRACT
Pregnancy
is a period from fertilization to development of one or more offspring, known
as a fetus or embryo, in a woman's uterus. This research project is aimed at
determining the biochemical changes in pregnant women at the third trimester
attending “Our savior Hospital”, Olokoro, Umuahia. A total of 40 participants
were enrolled in the study, Thirty Eight (38) pregnant women and 2 non-pregnant
women (controls) between the age of 15-45 years were recruited to participate
in the study.Using a syringe and needle, about 5 mL of blood samples were
asceptically collected into lithium-heparin bottle and plain bottle
respectively. Blood samples were transported to the laboratory under cold
chain. The blood samples collected in plain container were allowed to clot and
was centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 10 minutes and the clear non haemolysed serum
were harvested and aliquot into cryovials and stored at 2-6°C pending
analysis.Liver and Kidney function tests were analyzed using Sysmex
chemistryautomated analyzer (NY, USA) following the manufacturer'soperational
guidelines. All samples forbiochemical analysis were analyzed within 30minutes
of collection. The result showed that there was a significant (p<0.05)
increase in total bilirubin, conjugated bilirubin, ALP, urea and creatinine in
pregnant women, except SGOT and SGPT which fall within clinical range.
