Complications of Hypertriglyceridemia in Pregnancy and Its Impact on Neonates: a Hospital-Based Study From Odisha

Hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) in pregnancy causes an increased risk for maternal and fetal complicat... more Hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) in pregnancy causes an increased risk for maternal and fetal complications. But, reports on the impact of HTG in pregnancy on maternal and fetal outcomes are scarce in developing countries. We aim to determine the maternal and neonatal complications of HTG in pregnancy. Materials and methods This prospective observational study was conducted on 150 pregnant women with HTG in the department of obstetrics and gynecology, KIMS, Bhubaneswar, from December 2019 to November 2020. Measurement of triglycerides during the first trimester, second trimester, and delivery was done. Maternal complications and neonatal outcomes in HTG mothers and mothers with normal triglyceride levels were compared. Results Out of 150 HTG cases, hypothyroidism, preeclampsia, acute pancreatitis, and sickle cell crisis occurred in 41 (27.3%), 22 (14.7%), six (4%), and three (2%) cases, respectively. The triglyceridemia (TG) levels raised from 133.7±48.2 mg/dl in the first trimester to 232.8±151.0 mg/dl in the third trimester. There is a significant increase in TG levels at the time of delivery compared to the first and second trimesters (p< .001). Out of 140 neonates, 30 (21.4%) were preterm, eight (5.7%) had intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), and four (6.06%) were macrosomic. Intrauterine death, preterm, and macrosomia are significantly associated with maternal HTG compared to normal mothers (p < .032). All mortalities were due to acute pancreatitis (6; 4%) among mothers and four intrauterine fetal death. Conclusion There is a steady increase in TG levels in the successive trimesters of pregnancy. Gestational severe hypertriglyceridemia causes life-threatening complications. HTG-induced acute pancreatitis needs to be managed aggressively to prevent maternal death. Neonates of HTG mothers suffer from complications like prematurity, IUGR, and macrosomia.
