Association Of Maternal Hypothyroidism With Pre-eclampsia
Authors
Abstract:
Background and Objective: Hypertensive disorders complicating pregnancy are common and from one of the deadly triad, along with hemorrhage and infection that contribute greatly to prenatal and maternal morbidity and mortality in the developing countries. This study was designed to investigate the relationship between maternal hypothyroidism and pre-eclampsia. Materials and Methods: In a prospective case-control study, maternal thyroid hormonal status was evaluated in 132 pregnant women with gestational hypertension and compared to controls. Results: It was found out that 23 women (7.3%) had pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH), 45 women (14.3%) had mild pre-eclampsia, 62 women (19.7%) had severe pre-eclampsia and 2 (0.6%) had eclampsia. Mean of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels was not significantly higher in pre-eclamptic group as compared to controls (p>0.05). Conclusion: Maternal hypothyroidism might not be associated with pre-eclampsia

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether severe and recurrent pre-eclampsia increase the risk for long-term maternal atherosclerotic disease. STUDY DESIGN A population-based study compared the incidence of long-term atherosclerotic morbidity in a cohort of women who delivered in the years 1988-2012. The exposure variable was pre-eclampsia. Mean follow-up duration was 11.2 years. Kaplan-Meier survival...
full textMaternal Serum Lipids in Women with Pre‐eclampsia
Background: Evidence of increased oxidative stress due to endothelial dysfunction in pre‐eclampsia has been well‐established. Increase in the oxidative stress is associated with abnormal lipid profile. Aim: The aim of the study is to compare serum lipids in pre‐eclamptic women and healthy pregnant women. Subjects and Methods: In this case‐control study, blood samples were collected from 40 preg...

Association between pre-eclampsia (PEE1) and the dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase (DDAH) 1 and 2 genes, which play a role in the regulation of nitric oxide synthesis and release, was studied. In a case-control study design single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were determined at eight sites in the DDAH1 gene and at one site (Pro231Pro) in the DDAH2 gene from 132 women with pre-eclampsia...
