RESULTS
Most of the subjects of control and case group were in the age group
20-24 years and gestational age 36-38 weeks. As can be seen from
comparison of clinical characteristics, lipid profile parameters and
atherogenic indices between the case (pre-eclampsia) and Control
group depicted in [Table/Fig-1], there was a significant increase of
systolic and diastolic blood pressure, AIP, CRR and AC in the case
group as compared to the control group. Increase of lipid profile
parameters was also significant in case group except for HDL which
showed a non significant increase. There was a significant positive
correlation of Atherogenic indices with blood pressure and gestational
age in case group whereas, there was absence of any significant
