Abstract :

Preeclampsia is a pregnancy specific disease which affects both the mother and the unborn baby. It affects five to eight percent of all pregnancies and is one of the leading causes of maternal mortality and preterm delivery. It is supposed to be associated with high mortality, among the serious complications of pregnancy. This study analyzes the lipid profile among patients with preeclampsia and compares it with healthy pregnant women. Total of 50 samples were collected from the Gynecology and Obstrectics units of NIMS Hospital, 25 rural preeclamptic women were selected as the study group, 25 age–matched healthy pregnant females were selected as controls. The comparison of Fasting sugar, Total cholesterol (mg/dl), Triglyceride (mg/dl), HDL–cholesterol (mg/dl), LDL–cholesterol (mg/dl) and VLDL–cholesterol (mg/dl) between control and study group was analyzed using unpaired �t�–test. Dyslipidemia is evidenced in the form of elevated serum TC, TG, LDL and VLDL with decreased HDL levels in preeclampsia group as compared to healthy pregnant controls
