Background: Changes occurring in the body during pregnancy have a significant impact on metabolism, which determines the importance of monitoring nutrition and taking vitamin and mineral supplements for the health of the mother and the normal development of the fetus. An imbalance of vitamins and trace elements in the body leads to disruption of cellular processes, which may increase the risk of fetal congenital malformations, particularly those associated with neural tube defects.
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between mineral and vitamin statuses in the blood serum of pregnant women with fetal congenital malformations.
Materials and methods: The blood serum was analyzed for a range of essential minerals (magnesium, calcium, copper, zinc, iron), inorganic phosphorus, iron deficiency anemia parameters, as well as vitamins (D, B12, folic acid) and homocysteine levels in 82 pregnant women with various fetal congenital malformations at 19.0 (15.0–21.0) weeks of gestation. All patients were divided into three study groups: Group 1 consisted of women without chromosomal abnormalities and with fetal neural tube defects (n = 18); Group 2 involved individuals without chromosomal abnormalities and fetal neural tube defects (n = 35); and Group 3 comprised patients with chromosomal abnormalities, predominantly Down syndrome (n = 29).
Results: The patients of all of the study groups were comparable in terms of body mass index, number of pregnancies, births, and abortions in the medical history, as well as the frequency of diabetes mellitus, endocrine diseases, and exposure to exogenous damaging factors. Women with fetal neural tube defects had a higher percentage of acute respiratory viral infection cases in early pregnancy, lower vitamin B12 levels, and lower serum concentrations of inorganic phosphorus, which had a direct correlation with blood zinc levels.
Conclusions: The data obtained indicate the need for further research with larger samples to clarify the role of trace elements and vitamins in the formation of various fetal congenital malformations and the feasibility of prescribing B vitamins and dietary supplements that contain zinc and phosphorus compounds before or during pregnancy.
