zna~ajno povi{en paritet (p=0,047), ukupni holesterol (p=0,039) i trigliceride (p=0,033), ali i nezna~ajno ni`i HDL-holesterol (p=0,086) u pore|enju sa kontrolom. Sistolni krvni pritisak bio je zna~ajno po vi{en kod `ena sa GDM u kombinaciji sa PE (GDM-PE; p=0,015), a prose~na te`ina novoro|en~adi koju su rodilè ene sa GDM-PE bila je zna~ajno ni`a nego kod `ena sa GDM (p=0,025). @ene sa GDM-PE imale su zna~ajno povi{ene trigliceride (p=0,020), i sklonije su ve}em broju trudno}a (p=0,047) uz zna~ajno povi{en VLDL-holesterol (p=0,037), u pore|enju sa `enama samo sa GDM. 11,9% ena sa GDM imalo je PE. Na osnovu tih nalaza mo`e se zaklju~iti da je GDM povezan sa hiperlipidemijom, {to se vidi iz zna~ajno povi{enih ukupnih koncentracija holesterola i triglicerida. Kod `ena sa dislipi demijom i GDM postoji rizik od razvoja preeklam p si je. Veoma je va`no odre|ivati lipide u krvi `ena sa GDM u okviru prenatalne za{tite jer to poma`e ranom otkrivanju i le~enju PE. Summary: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is asso cia ted with increased risk of pregnancy-induced hypertension and other maternal and foetal complications of pregnancy. The aims of the study were to evaluate the serum lipid profile of women with GDM, and determine the number of women with GDM who have preeclampsia (PE). A retrospective study of 84 women with GDM and 90 pregnant women with nor mal glucose tolerance (controls) was condu cted. Women with GDM had significantly higher parity (p=0.047), total cholesterol (p=0.039) and triglycerides (p=0.033), but non-significantly lower HDL-cholesterol (p=0.086) when compared to controls. Systolic blood pressure was significantly elevated in women with GDM coupled with PE (GDM-PE; p=0.015), the mean birth weight of infants born to women with GDM-PE was significantly lower than that of women with only GDM (p=0.025). Women with GDM-PE had significantly higher triglycerides (p=0.020), had to be more multi-gravida (p=0.047) with significantly elevated VLDL-cholesterol (p=0.037) when compared with women with only GDM. 11.9% of women with GDM had PE. On the basis of these findings, it can be concluded that GDM is associated with hyperlipidaemia as evident by the significantly elevated total cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations. Women with dyslipidaemia and GDM are at risk of developing preeclampsia. It is imperative that blood lipids be evaluated in women with GDM during antenatal care as it would be helpful in the early detec tion and treatment of PE.
