Lipoprotein levels in patients with pregnancy induced hypertension

The purpose of this prospective study was to investigate the levels of Lp(a), Apo(a), VLDL, LDL and HDL in 23 patients with pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) and in 20 control. The Mann-Whitney U tests was used for comparisons between the two groups. Serum Lp(a) and Apo(a) levels were sigificantly raise in the PIH group (p < 0.05 andp < 0.05 respectively) and no significant correlations could be demonstrated for other lipoproteins.     

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy in pregnancy

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is now the standard treatment for symptomatic gallstones; while symptomatic gallstones during pregnancy are not frequent they are by no means rare. The role of laparoscopic cholecystectomy during pregnancy is controversial but initial reports suggest it is both safe and feasible. Methods: During a consecutive series of 500 laparoscopic cholecystectomies, 3 patients have undergone laparoscopic cholecystectomy during pregnancy. The 3 patients were 16–27 weeks pregnant with an average age of 32 years. The indication for laparoscopic cholecystectomy was severe pain in two patients and gallstone pancreatitis in one patient. Following standard obstetric anesthesia, laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed. Open cannulation was used to establish peritoneal access, following which standard, four-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed without complication. The insufflation pressure used was 8–10 mmHg CO₂ and a liver retractor was employed to facilitate access. Results: In each case the postoperative recovery was rapid and uneventful for both mother and fetus. The patients were discharged on the first or second postoperative day. Conclusions: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy during the second trimester of pregnancy is both safe and feasible provided both suitable surgical and anesthetic expertise are available. Even up to the end of the second trimester there is sufficient access for the technique to be employed.

Calcium-phosphorus-magnesium homeostasis in pregnant women after renal transplantation.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was the assessment of calcium-phosphorus-magnesium homeostasis in pregnant women after renal transplantation. METHODS: The study covered 64 pregnant women in the third trimester of gestation including: 33 women after renal transplantation (the study group) and 31 healthy pregnant women (the control group). Women from both groups were at the similar age: 30.8+/-4.7 vs. 31.3+/-5.0 years (NS) and at the same gestational age 34.8+/-2.4 vs. 35.3+/-2.6 weeks (NS). The mean body mass index (BMI) in the women from the study group before pregnancy was 21.49+/-2.81 vs. 22.1+/-3.02 in the control group (NS), BMI before delivery was 25.43+/-3.05 vs. 26.0+/-3.35 (NS), the percentage of the BMI increase during pregnancy was 18.7+/-7.68 vs. 17.65+/-7.13 (NS) and BMI increase during gestation was 3.93+/-1.56 vs. 3.90+/-1.54, respectively (NS). Arterial blood pressure at the time of blood samples collection for biochemical tests was 151.4+/-26.8/92.5+/-16.9 in women from the study group comparing to 115.0+/-6.0/68.0+/-7.0 mmHg (P<0.001) in the patients from the control group. The maximal blood pressure during pregnancy was 169.2+/-20.7/102.7+/-14.0 vs. 118.0+/-7.0/70.0+/-8.0 mmHg (P<0.001), respectively. We estimated serum levels of: total Ca, ionized Ca(2+), inorganic phosphorus (P(i)), Mg, total protein, albumin and blood morphology. Moreover, urine levels of Ca, P(i), Mg and protein were assessed. RESULTS: The pregnant women after renal transplantation presented increases in serum concentrations of total Ca (2.54+/-0.20 vs. 2.16+/-0.10 mmol/l; P<0.001) and ionized Ca(2+) (1.322+/-0.104 vs. 1.12+/-0.07 mmol/l; P<0.001) and the decrease in P(i) level (1.013+/-0.211 vs. 1.10+/-0.16 mmol/l; P<0.05), total protein (59.3+/-7.0 vs. 65+/-5 g/l; P<0.001) and albumin (461.6+/-65.65 vs. 493.2+/-59 micromol/l; P<0.05). Moreover, in the study group drop in red blood cells count to 3.71+/-0.56 vs. 4.01+/-0.35 x 10(12)/l (P<0.02) in the control group was detected. Despite increased volume of 24-h urine collection in the kidney recipients we observed significantly decreased urine 24-h calcium excretion 2.47+/-0.92 vs. 6.72+/-3.49 mmol (P<0.001) and simultaneous increase in urine Mg excretion 3.422+/-1.025 vs. 2.18+/-0.52 mmol/24 h (P<0.001). There was no difference in urine 24-h P(i) excretion between the study and the control group. The pregnant renal transplant recipients presented proteinuria of 1.19+/-1.9 g/24 h. CONCLUSIONS: Women after kidney grafting present vital aberrations in calcium-phosphorus-magnesium homeostasis during pregnancy. The most significant changes are associated with calcium metabolism (high increase in serum Ca levels and impairment of renal elimination of calcium). The observed changes may be influenced by the doses of immunosuppressive agents and disturbed renal function.
