Association of Lipid Profile in Pregnancy with Preeclampsia, Gestational Diabetes Mellitus, and Preterm Delivery.

Introduction During the last two trimesters of pregnancy, glucose is spared (for the foetus), while the concentration of fatty acids in plasma increases, which can create complications like preeclampsia, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and preterm delivery. Aim To study the association of serum lipid levels during the second and third trimesters with the development of pregnancy-associated diseases, such as preeclampsia, GDM, and preterm delivery. Methods and Materials The present study was carried out at MGM Hospital, Navi Mumbai, India.

Evaluation of Lipid Profile in Second and Third Trimester of Pregnancy.

Introduction: There is a change in energy usage along with accumulation of fat during different trimesters of pregnancy. Lipid physiology and pathophysiology during pregnancy has not been studied extensively in large population-based cohorts.

Aim: To study the levels of total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and triglycerides (TGs) during pregnancy and their changes in second and third trimester.
