Potentially modifiable factors associated with AKI in the postoperative period were identified as baseline renal function, preoperative hypertension, longer duration of surgical time and ischaemia time, and warm ischaemia.
OBJECTIVES:The present study was designed to evaluate the association of lipid profile in pre-eclampsia and if there is any change in lipid profiles in pre-eclampsic mother as compared to no pregnant woman and normotensive pregnant mother. METHODS: This case-control study was carried out in the department of Obstetrics and gynaecology of Burdwan medical college, Burdwan from 1 st June 2012 to 31 st May 2013.Total 180 patient were evaluated of which 60 were non-pregnant normotensive,60 were pregnant normotensive and 60 were pre-eclamptic mother. Age group was in between 19-35 years. In case of pregnancy gestational age was in between 32 to 36 weeks. Patients with pre-existing hypertension were excluded. Serum lipid profile (total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol VLDL and LDL cholesterol) of one hundred and eighty women with Pre-eclampsia (n=60), normotensive non pregnant women (n=60) and normotensive pregnant woman (n=60) were monitored .Comparison is drawn and analysed by using chi-square test (SPSS 18 software). RESULTS: In preeclampsia there is significant decrease of High density lipoprotein(HDL) and significantly increase of Low density lipoprotein(LDL),Very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and Triglycerides concentration seen compared to non pregnant normotensive and pregnant normotensive subjects. CONCLUSION: Lipid metabolism plays a key role in the pathophysiology of Pre-eclampsia and Eclampsia. Increased triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL, VLDL levels along with decreased HDL-cholesterol levels and high blood pressure are associated with development of preeclampsia and eclampsia. This association may be significant in understanding the pathologic processes of preeclampsia and may help in developing strategies for prevention or early diagnosis of this disorder.
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.
