Conclusions
In conclusion, maternal TG increased with gestational weeks, and decreased until 42 days postpartum. Gestational TG was an important risk factor of postpartum hypertriglyceridemia in pregnant women while the risk decreased with gestational weeks. Serum TG level should be controlled below 1.12, 1.93, 2.35 and 3.08 mmol/L at 6-8th, 16th, 24thand 36th gestational week to reduce the risk of postpartum hypertriglyceridemia. Moreover, association between gestational TG and increased risk of postpartum hypertriglyceridemia was more significant among pregnant women with normal weight and without GDM. Our study highlights the importance of measurements and control of TG especially in early pregnancy, and management of pre-BMI and complications of pregnancy.
