Objective: To investigate Helicobacter pylori seropositivity rate in preeclamptic and healthy pregnants. Additionally, we compared serum malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and lipid profile between H. pylori-positive and negative cases.
Method: This study included 53 preeclamptic and 30 healthy pregnants. Serum levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C), MDA, and H. pylori Ig G antibodies were measured.
Results: Preeclampsia group had higher serum MDA levels compared with healthy pregnants (P53 (81%) in the preeclampsia group, this was 18/30 (% 60) in olağan pregnants (odds ratio (OR), 2.86; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.05-7.82; P=0.036). We further divided the preeclampsia group as H. pylori-positive and H. pylori-negative subgroups. In H. pylori-positive group, serum TC (Pp>
Conclusion: H. pylori-positive pregnants may have a high risk for preeclampsia and H. pylori may be one of the causes for high MDA levels in preeclampsia.
