Abstract We screened the pattern of maternal lipid profile in 94 womenduring pregnancy then assessed the association between the lipid profile components and adverse pregnancy outcome among cohort of Egyptian pregnant women. This cohort study included 94 non-diabetic and nonhypertensive women with maternal lipid profile assessed during the second trimester (16-18 weeks). Serial antenatal visits were conducted to record the development of maternal gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes mellitus and low birth weight Multiple logistic regression analysis was done to detect the association between lipid parameters and incidence of adverse pregnancy outcome. We found maternal lipid profile in pregnancy were higher than normal references. Also, we showed gestational hypertension (GH) was the most common complication in the study affecting 13 patients (13.8%) followed by preeclampsia (PE) in 8 patients (8.5 %), gestational DM (GDM) in 7 patients (7.4%) and lastly low birth weight in 4 neonates (4.3%). Moreover, we speculated positive correlation between second trimester lipid profile components and GH, PE and GDM We concluded that measurement of lipid profile during the second trimester could be a useful predictor of hypertensive disorders and GDM among Egyptian women.
