This study aims to distinguish level of (LDL/HDL) and Low Density Lipoprotein/High Density Lipoprotein ratio in severe preeclampsia patient compared to normal pregnancy. Method: The study design was comparative cross-sectional study with consecutive sampling method that compared the laboratory results of LDL, HDL and ratio LDL/HDL that met the inclusion criteria. Subjects of this study were severe preeclampsia and normal pregnancy patient that fulfilled the inclusion criteria (n=60) in Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung during August-September 2017. Result: It is revealed that the differences in level of LDL and LDL/HDL ratios in both groups were significant with p value ≤ 0,05. But there were no differences in HDL level. Increased level of LDL/HDL ratio in pregnancy was related to increased risk of preeclampsia with cutoff point> 2,632. If the increased level of LDL/HDL above cutoff point then the insident of severe preeclampsia increased 21,36 times. Conclusion: It was concluded that level of LDL and LDL/HDL ratios in severe preeclampsia were higher than in normal pregnancy. The increased LDL/HDL ratio of > 2.632 increased the risk of severe preeclampsia by 21.36 times.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
