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.
