STUDY OF LIPID PROFILE TRENDS IN WOMEN OF PREGNANCY INDUCED HYPERTENSION CASES IN A RURAL SETUP.
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 13
Abstract
[b] OBJECTIVE[/b]: Elevated plasma lipid levels are believed to be probable cause of endothelial cell dysfunction. We planned to measure the changes in the lipid levels in patients of PIH (pregnancy induced hypertension) and compare it with that of normotensive pregnant females. [b]MATERIALS & METHODS[/b]: We studied 804 pregnant women. 624 patients studied were of PIH and 180 patients were healthy pregnant women. Lipid levels were estimated in these pregnant women. [b]RESULTS[/b]: We found a significant rise in the serum lipid levels in the PIH patients group as compared to normotensive pregnant females, which were highly significant (P<0.001) except changes in LDL (P>0.05) and total cholesterol. Amongst the different lipoprotein ratios, TC: HDL, LDL: HDL, TG: HDL, and HDL: VLDL ratios were found highly significant (p<0.001) in PIH patients group. [b]CONCLUSION[/b]: It is essential that blood lipid concentrations be estimated in pregnant women during antenatal care since it could be useful in early diagnosis and prevention of obstetric complications such as PIH.
