What are the dangers of high triglycerides during pregnancy?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

The dangers of high triglycerides in pregnant women:
Danger 1: Heart disease: Triglycerides primarily provide and store energy for the human body. Excessive triglycerides can lead to changes in fat cell function and increased blood viscosity, thereby increasing the risk of heart artery hardening, coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, stroke, and cerebral apoplexy.
Danger 2: Gestational diabetes: Elevated blood lipids during pregnancy can easily affect the sugar metabolism of pregnant women, leading to gestational diabetes and reduced glucose tolerance.
Danger 3: Gestational hypertension: Gestational hypertension is a disease unique to pregnancy. Since high blood pressure and high blood lipids mutually influence each other, pregnant women with high triglycerides are more prone to developing gestational hypertension syndrome, exhibiting symptoms such as proteinuria and edema.
