| Abstract: | The present study was carried out to assess the biochemical profile and outcome of pregnancy and study the adverse consequences
if any, among normal and high risk pregnant women. The study group included 182 normal and 168 high risk cases attending to
private and Government Hospitals in Bangalore. The high risk groups were: Pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH), gestational
diabetes mellitus (GDM), Adolescents and anemic cases. Lipid peroxidation was enhanced in PIH and GDM groups (5.56 nmol/ml
and 3.98 nmol/ml) MDA values as compared to other groups. Vitamin E levels were significantly (p< 0.05) lower in PIH group
(0.38 mg/dl) as compared to other groups. Caesarean as a mode of delivery indicating more number of complications were higher
among GDM (61.9%) followed by PIH group. Incidences of low birth weight were observed more in PIH group. The study revealed
occurrence of oxidative stress and adverse outcome among high risk pregnancy groups. |
