Abstract:

Goal: In our study, we wanted to investigate whether there is a difference between light, severe preeclamptic and normal pregnancies in the levels of Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a]] and the relationship between the severity of the disease. A total of 26 pregnancies diagnosed with preeclampsia were included in our clinic between 01.01.2003 and 01.04.2004, and the results of the examinations were conducted. 18 pregnancy preeclamptics (arterial blood pressure systolic 140-160 mmHg, diastolic 90-100 mmHg) and 8 pregnancy heavy preeclamptics (arterial blood pressure systolic >160 mmHg, diastolic >110 mmHg) were grouped. The control group was selected for 18 pregnancies (arterial blood pressure systolic <140 mmHg, diastolic <90 mmHg). Light preeclamptic group 31-40 weeks of pregnancy (medium 36.1 ± 4. Between 5 weeks of pregnancy, the heavy preeclamic group was between 35-38 weeks of pregnancy (medium 35.2±5.3 weeks of pregnancy) and normal pregnancy between 36-40 weeks of pregnancy (medium 38.1±3.2 weeks of pregnancy). Venues blood samples were made from all groups. Plasma Lp(a) levels, spectrophotometrically measured, were compared between the preeclamptic group and pregnancies with normal clinical findings. The average Lp(a) plasma levels were measured at 9.3±0.9 mg/dl in normal pregnancies, 18.6±2.3 mg/dl in light preeclamptic pregnancies and 27.5±2.4 mg/dl in heavy preeclamptic pregnancies (p<0.001). As a result, a meaningful relationship between plasma Lp(a) levels was found in normal and preeclamptic pregnancies. Methods: Bulgarians: Results:
