THE COMPARISION OF PLASMA LIPID PROFILES OF NORMAL AND HYPERTENSIVE PREGNANCIES IN ASSOCIATION WITH DOPPLER FINDINGS

Abstract

Although etiology of pre-eclampsia is stili not kown with certainity, it continues to be an important maternal and perinatal mortality cause. We investigated plasma lipid profiles of normal and hypertensive patients with the findings of Doppler ultrasonography. We aimed to show the possibility that changes In the lipid profile may play a role In the etiology of preeclampsia.A total of 135 pregnant women constituted of normotensive, chronic hypertensive and pre-eclamptic patients who admitted to Social Securities Ege Maternity Hospital during September 2000 - February 2001 were included In this study.Pre-eclamptic group was divided into two groups according to Doppler findings as normal and abnormal. Plasma lipid profiles of patients were compared among groups. Ali hypertensive patients especially pre-eclamptic ones had elevated ievels of plasma triglycerides and VLDL. In pre-eclamptic group with abnormal Doppler findings ali plasma lipid leveis were elevated except for HDL. Chronic hypertensive patients and pre-eclamptic patients with normal Doppler findings had similar serum lipid profiles. Our finding of similar serum lipid profiles of chronic hypertensive patients with those of pre-eclamptic patients with normal Doppler findings leads us to think that these two conditions may have similar etiologies. Dissimilarity of the group of pre-eclamptic patients With abnormal Doppler findings arouses the possibility that this latter condition may have a different etiology. Changes in piasrna lipid profile may play a role in clarifying pathophysiology of pre-eclampsia and have a predictive value in identifying the pregnancies under risk.
