Pre-eclampsia is a non-convulsive form of hypertensive disorder of pregnancy. Pre-eclampsia affects approximately 3% of all pregnancies worldwide, with onset of symptoms in the late second or third trimester, commonly after 32nd week. Our aim was to evaluate the biochemical markers i. e.; Lipid profile and serum uric acid for early diagnosis of preeclampsia. This association may be significant in understanding the pathological processes of pre-eclampsia and may help in developing strategies for prevention and early diagnosis of pre-eclampsia. Keywords: BMI, High blood pressure, Lipid profile, Uric acid & Pre-eclampsia. Abbreviations Used: TG: Triglycerides, HDL-c: High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol, LDL-c: Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol, VLDL-c: Very Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol, WHO: World Health Organization, BMI : Body mass index, BP : Blood pressure. 1.
