Kittichotpanich B Objective: To compare serum lipids in mild, severe preeclamptic women and normal pregnant women.
Study design: Cross-sectional study.
Setting: Section of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Taksin Hospital.
Material and Method: The data was collected from 65 normal pregnant women, 40 mild preeclamptic women,
and 48 severe preeclamptic women. The blood samples were collected and analyzed for cholesterol, triglyceride,
high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL). The data was analyzed using Analysis of
Variances (ANOVA).
Results: There was no significant difference in serum cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL, and LDL between normal,
mild, and severe preeclamptic women.
Conclusion: There was no correlation between serum lipids in normal pregnancy and preeclampsia.
