Assessment of Changes in Lipid Profile of Pregnant Women during Periods of Gestation and Post Partum in Chotanagpur – A Descriptive Study
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Introduction: There is a change in energy usage along with accumulation of fat during different trimesters of pregnancy. Altered hormonal status of the body in pregnancy leads to changes in lipid profile which is accompanied by changes in maternal lipoprotein required for the growth and development of the foetus. High lipid profile has adverse effects leading to atherosclerosis which is found to be due to raised cholesterol, triglyceride level. Current study aimed to analyze the levels of total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), highdensity lipoprotein (HDL), and triglycerides (TGs) during pregnancy and their changes during post partum period. Material and Methods: The study was performed on 110 pregnant women after taking an informed consent from patients to get enrolled in the study. Lipid profiles were assessed using standard procedures. Results: Among the four analytes triglycerides shows the largest increase and HDL-C the smallest. All the values are raised during pregnancy except HDL-C which is stabilized during the second trimester. Conclusion: The clinically non-significant elevated lipid profile in the pregnancy period and decline in the postpartum period are physiological.
