Abstract EN
The aim of this study is to assess dyslipidemia status among hypertensive pregnant women and to correlate with preeclampsia in Gaza Strip.
A cross sectional study was conducted on 85 pregnant women attending the Gynecology and Obstetrics Department of tertiary care in Gaza Strip (49-hypertension pregnant woman as patients and 36 normal pregnant women without hypertension as a control).
Pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) was found to be associated with fetus sex and it was higher with male fetus 28.6 % and twins 12.2% compared with control.
The majority of the PIH patient were obese BMI (32.9 ±4.6) compared with control (25.7±3.5) (P < 0.001).
Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-C, among PIH patients were high (175.3±56.6, 226.9±130.1, 67.4±51.4 mg/dl) respectively, compared with control (143.8±44.1, 186.3 ±101.3, 48.9±46.5 mg/dl) respectively.
Abnormal lipid profile and low HDL-C levels may add to the promotion of vascular dysfunction during pregnancy and may induce hypertension and eventually pre-eclampsia and serious complications of fetus.
