Serum Lipid Profile and Uric Acid Concentration during Pregnancy

Abstract

Objectives: To investigate whether lipid profile and serum uric acid concentration changes during pregnancy or not. Method: 10 non pregnant women and 10 pregnant women were enrolled in the study , have an average age 25-30 years and the same body mass index. Blood samples were drawn from all the subjects following a fasting of 8 hours and analyzed for serum lipid profile and serum uric acid. Result: The results showed that pregnancy period may change lipid profile and serum uric acid ,although the volume of sample is small for correlation between the pregnancy period and changes in serum uric acid and lipid profile . This will require large number of volunteers. But , this study give opinion about these changes.
