To evaluate early-pregnancy changes in lipid profile in recurrent preeclampsia.
In this retrospective observational study, blood samples were obtained from 41 normotensive women with a history of early-onset preeclampsia preconceptionally and at 12 and 16 weeks in the next pregnancy. We assessed triglycerides (TGs), total cholesterol (TC), and high- and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C and LDL-C, respectively). We analyzed differences in longitudinal patterns between normal and recurrent preeclamptic next pregnancy using mixed-design repeated measurements analysis of covariance (ANCOVA).
Eleven (28%) women developed recurrent preeclampsia. Eighteen (45%) women had a normal pregnancy. In normal pregnancy, LDL-C declines transiently in the first trimester (P < .01). In women who develop recurrent preeclampsia later on this decline was absent. Moreover, from 12 weeks onward the elevating levels of HDL-C stagnates in women who subsequently develop recurrent preeclampsia (P = .02).
These observations point to an abnormal early adaptation of lipid metabolism to pregnancy preceding clinical manifestation of preeclampsia.
评估复发性子痫前期孕妇妊娠早期血脂谱的变化。
本回顾性观察性研究共纳入 41 例有早发型子痫前期病史且无高血压的正常孕妇,于孕前及下次妊娠 12 周和 16 周采集血样。我们评估了甘油三酯(TGs)、总胆固醇(TC)以及高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(HDL-C)和低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C)的水平。我们采用混合设计重复测量方差分析(ANCOVA)分析了正常和复发性子痫前期孕妇的纵向变化模式。
11 例(28%)孕妇发生了复发性子痫前期。18 例(45%)孕妇为正常妊娠。在正常妊娠中,LDL-C 在孕早期会短暂下降(P<0.01)。而在随后发生复发性子痫前期的孕妇中,这种下降则不存在。此外,从 12 周开始,随后发生复发性子痫前期的孕妇的 HDL-C 水平升高趋于停滞(P=0.02)。
这些观察结果表明,在子痫前期的临床表现出现之前,脂代谢的早期适应性异常与复发性子痫前期有关。
