Abstract (2. Language): 
Introduction: Pre-eclampsia is common medical complication of pregnancy. The association of altered lipid profile in essential hypertension is well documented. The present study was planned to study the role of altered lipid profile in the development of preeclampsia. Method: The study comprised of 30 normal pregnant women and 30 pre-eclamptic women in their third trimester of pregnancy. Serum Total cholesterol, Triglycerides, LDL Cholesterol and HDL- Cholesterol by enzymatic colorimetric method were done. Results: There was significant rise in Serum Total cholesterol, Triglycerides, LDL Cholesterol and a significant decrease in HDL Cholesterol in pre-eclamptic group as compared to normal healthy pregnant women. Conclusion : Altered lipid profile also has a potential role in the genesis of endothelial dysfunction and expression of pre-eclampsia. Early detection of these parameters may help patient by preventing complications in pre-eclampsia and is going to aid in better management of Pre-eclampsia.
