Abstract
Background and Aims : Physiological changes in the lipid metabolism (elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglycerides (TG) and lipoprotein(a) Lp(a)) occur during pregnancy. However, dyslipiemia is associated with gestational diabetes, hypertension, preeclampsia and preterm birth. High level of total cholesterol due to greater concentrations of LDL-C and reduced level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) promote atherosclerosis. Moreover, severe hypertriglyceridemia (SHTG) is a potent risk factor for development of acute pancreatitis.
