Preeclampsia (PE) is a gestational-related disease presented with hypertension, peripheral edema, and proteinuria after 20 weeks of gestation. In PE, there are various metabolic changes like dyslipidemia. In addition, both PE and dyslipidemia are associated with changes of platelet indices. Thus, objective of the current study was to illustrate the potential role of dyslipidemia and platelet changes in pregnant women with PE. This case-control study involved 37 preeclamptic pregnant women as compared to 24 healthy pregnant women as controls. Blood pressure profile, lipid profile, proteinuria, and platelet indices were measured. Blood pressure profile was higher in preeclamptic pregnant women as compared to the controls ( < 0.01). There was a significant dyslipidemic status in preeclamptic pregnant women compared with the controls ( < 0.01). Platetetcrit (PCT) and platelet count (PC) were lower in preeclamptic pregnant women compared with the controls ( = 0.001). On the other hand, platelet distribution width (PDW), mean platelet volume (MPV), and platelet-large cell ratio (P-LCR) were higher in the pregnant women with PE as compared with the controls ( = 0.001). PCT and PC were insignificantly linked, while P-LCR, MPV and PDW were significantly correlated with total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein (LDL)/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) ratio, systolic blood pressure, DBP, and MAP in preeclamptic patients compared with women of normal pregnancy. Both dyslipidemia and alterations in the platelet indices are correlated with blood pressure profile in PE. High MPV and PDW in association with high LDL/HDL ratio in pregnant women herald risk of PE.
子痫前期(PE)是一种与妊娠相关的疾病,在妊娠20周后出现高血压、外周水肿和蛋白尿。在子痫前期,存在多种代谢变化,如血脂异常。此外,子痫前期和血脂异常均与血小板指标的变化有关。因此,本研究的目的是阐明血脂异常和血小板变化在子痫前期孕妇中的潜在作用。这项病例对照研究纳入了37例子痫前期孕妇,并与24例健康孕妇作为对照。测量了血压、血脂、蛋白尿和血小板指标。与对照组相比,子痫前期孕妇的血压更高(<0.01)。与对照组相比,子痫前期孕妇存在显著的血脂异常状态(<0.01)。与对照组相比,子痫前期孕妇的血小板压积(PCT)和血小板计数(PC)较低(=0.001)。另一方面,与对照组相比,子痫前期孕妇的血小板分布宽度(PDW)、平均血小板体积(MPV)和血小板大细胞比率(P-LCR)更高(=0.001)。与正常妊娠女性相比,子痫前期患者中PCT和PC的相关性不显著,而P-LCR、MPV和PDW与总胆固醇、甘油三酯以及低密度脂蛋白(LDL)/高密度脂蛋白(HDL)比值、收缩压、舒张压和平均动脉压显著相关。子痫前期患者的血脂异常和血小板指标改变均与血压相关。孕妇中高MPV和PDW以及高LDL/HDL比值预示着子痫前期的风险。
