Background: Pre-eclampsia contributes significantly to both maternal and perinatal morbidities and mortalities. One of the identified pathophysiologies of pre-eclampsia is the deranged serum lipid profile of which some components have been found to be elevated early in pregnancy in women destined to develop pre-eclampsia.
Objectives: To compare the serum fasting lipid profiles of pre-eclamptic primigravidas with normal primigravidas at week 20, 28, and 34.
