Abstract

Introduction: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are a significant global health concern, affecting approximately 10% of all pregnancies worldwide. Among these, pre-eclampsia—a condition characterized by high blood pressure and signs of organ damage, primarily to the liver or kidneys—is observed in 3–5% of pregnancies

Aim & Objectives

Aim

§  To evaluate serum lipid profile during 14-20 weeks of pregnancy as predictor of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.

Objectives

§  To study serum lipid profile during 14-20 weeks of pregnancy.

§  To look for association of abnormal lipid levels in pregnancy with hypertensive disorder of pregnancy.

Conclusion: The study provides compelling evidence that dyslipidemia during the early second trimester is associated with an increased risk of developing hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Total cholesterol emerged as the most reliable single predictor, with moderate sensitivity and high specificity. Although other lipid fractions (VLDL, triglycerides, LDL) were elevated in HDP cases, their predictive accuracies were relatively lower. HDL, though lower in HDP groups, did not significantly differ from normotensive counterparts.
