Comparative Evaluation of Lipid Profile among Pregnant Women with and without Pregnancy Induced Hypertension Attending in Patliputra Medical College Dhanbad, Jharkhand
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Introduction: The association of alteration of serum lipid profile in hypertension has been well established. In pregnancy, normally, the altered levels of serum lipid profile increase the risk of Pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) which is one of the major causes of maternal and fetal mortality. Therefore, the present study was designed to investigate the alteration in serum lipid profile in pregnant women and in women with PIH. Study aimed to record the levels of total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and triglycerides (TG) in healthy pregnant women and women with pregnancy induced hypertension Material and Methods: 90 pregnant women were recruited for this study. An informed consent was taken from each patient. Lipid profiles were assessed using standard procedures. Data was analyzed using SPSS for Windows (version 17.0, SPSS Inc., Chicago, Illinois, USA). The data is presented descriptively and test for significance was done using the student t-test for continous data. Results: the serum lipid levels of TC, VLDL, LDL and TG in PIH women were found to be higher and were statistically significant while HDL value was not significant, as compared with the healthy controls. Conclusion: From the results of our study, it can be concluded that lipid parameters are increased in pregnancy induced hypertension which may be helpful in the prevention of complication caused by PIH.
