ABSTRACT
Preeclampsia is a potentially serious disorder in pregnancy. The present study compared the changes in serum lipid profile and serum hs CRP in normal pregnancy and in women with preeclampsia during antenatal period and 48hrs of postnatal period. hs CRP levels were seen to be significantly higher in preeclamptic women when measured in the last trimester compared to normal pregnant women. Lipid levels were deranged in most of the women belonging to the preeclampsia group and there were significant changes in the lipid levels in postnatal period. hs CRP and lipid profile estimation might help in diagnosis of preeclampsia.
Keywords: Preeclampsia, hs CRP, lipid profile.
