Maternal lipid profile during early pregnancy as a predictor of pregnancy induced hypertension
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Gynaecology - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: The purpose of this study was to prospectively evaluate and compare the maternal and perinatal outcomes in patients who were dyslipidemic in early pregnancy. Aims and objectives: To find out abnormal lipid profile and to find out relationship between early pregnancy lipid concentration and risk of pregnancy induced hypertension. Materials and Methods: This study was done among pregnant women attending antenatal clinic between 12 to 14 weeks of pregnancy at Sree Mookambika institute of Medical Sciences, Kulasekharam. Random blood samples of non fasting lipid profile were determined during early gestation. Outcome was measured in terms of pregnancy induced hypertension, mode of delivery and NICU admissions. Results: The mean total cholesterol levels were 247.72 mg/dl with Triglyceride levels ranged from 54 mg/dl to 320 mg/dl. The mean triglyceride levels was 189.19 mg/dl with a standard deviation of 81.684 mg/dl. Mean HDL was 66.38 mg/dl with a standard deviation of 18.428 mg/dl. LDL level ranged from 45 mg/dl to 304 mg/dl with a mean deviation of 141.10 mg/dl and a standard deviation of 60.196 mg/dl. Mean VLDL was 56.28 mg/dl with a standard deviation of 23.445 mg/dl. Majority of the hyperlipidemic subjects were delivered by LSCS. In this study it was found that Pregnancy Induced Hypertension had statistically significant association with lipid profile (p>0.05). Conclusion: Estimating serum lipid profile during early pregnancy is a simple screening test which helps to recognise dyslipidemia and the patients who are at risk of developing PIH. Due to early detection incidence of complications can be prevented thereby reducing the fetomaternal morbidity.
