Prangyada Reecha Joshi, Rabindra Kumar Mahapatra

Abstract :

Hypertension associated with pregnancy whether it is pre–existent or developed during pregnancy, is one of the most common conditions encountered by obstetricians. Hypertension increases both maternal and fetal mortality and morbidity, as it virtually involves every organ and system in the body. The main objective of the study was to estimate, Serum Lipid Profile in Normotensive Pregnant Women & Pre–eclamptic Pregnant Women. The study comprised of total 60 subjects; 30 Controls and 30 Patients. 60 subjects were oadly categorized as 30 Normal Healthy Pregnant Women (for Controls), 15 Pregnant Women with Pre–eclampsia and 15 Pregnant Women with Pre–eclampsia having Proteinuria. Blood samples were collected after an overnight fasting & were analysed for lipid profile. It was observed that the study (pre–eclamptic) group which showed dyslipidaemia in early pregnancy, particularly hypertriglyceridaemiaseem to be high risk group for pre–eclamptic pregnant women who develop pre–eclampsia had increased total cholesterol, LDL–C &VLDL–C including triglyceride as compared with normotensive pregnant women. In all these pre–eclamptic cases HDL–C is subsequently decreased as compared with normotensive pregnant women.
