Abstract
Preeclampsia is related to abnormality in lipid profile. Hence, a retrospective cross-sectional study of 300 pregnant women was conducted. Results revealed that 15% developed preeclampsia, including 10% mild and 5% severe cases. Women with preeclampsia had higher pre-gestational BMI and significantly elevated total cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL-C compared to normotensive controls, while HDL-C showed no difference. Severe cases exhibited further increases in cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL-C. Thus, we show the association of abnormal lipid profiles with both the incidence and severity of preeclampsia, supporting their potential role as early predictive markers.
