Abstract:

This was an open labeled clinical study to compare the lipid profile in normotensive and hypertensive pregnant women. The study included two groups-50 normotensive and 50 preeclamptic pregnant women in whom fasting blood samples were sent for estimation of serum lipid profile during their third trimester. There was a significant increase (p<0.5) in total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, VLDL cholesterol and triglycerides in preeclamptic group compared to normotensive group.

Keywords:

Lipid profile, preeclampsia, gestational hypertension
