Abstract
Hypertension is the most common medical problem encountered in pregnancy and is a leading cause of perinatal and maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Hypertension, especially when complicated by preeclampsia is a major cause of both maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) is associated with abnormal placentation and vascular constriction of the placental bed arteries. Furthermore, in patients with preeclampsia, fat deposition on the walls of the uterine spiral arteries has been noted. This phenomenon of ””acute atherosis has been reported to be a pathognomonic finding in preeclampsia. The aim of the current work was to evaluate the relationship between lipid profiles and hypertensive disorders during the second half of pregnancy. This study was a cross- sectional comparative study conducted in the obstetrics and gynecology department in Mansoura University hospital. This study included 60 patients: (20 hypertensive with proteinuria and another 20 patients, hypertensive but with no proteinuria, 20 apparently healthy, age matched individuals as control group). Our study showed that: No significant difference was found regarding age, gravidity, and parity between all studied groups. Gestational age show significant increase in group B when compared to group A (p=0.028). FTND was higher in group B when compared to group C. Previous CS was significantly higher in group B when compared to group A. BMI, SBP, DBP show significant increase in group A & B when compared to healthy control. SBP, DBP show significant increase in group A when compared to group B. Cholesterol, LDL, triglycerides, VLDL show significant increase in group A and B when compared to healthy control. Cholesterol, LDL, triglycerides, VLDL show significant increase in group A when compared to group B HDL show significant increase in group C when compared to group A. HDL show no significant difference was between group B and healthy control. The findings of our study suggest that preeclampsia has an association with hypertriglyceridemia and elevated cholesterol level LDL and VLDL and decreased HDL level. The findings of our study suggest that hypertension during pregnancy has an association with hypertriglyceridemia and elevated cholesterol level LDL and VLDL.
