Polycystic ovarian syndrome

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is associated with dyslipidaemia and may render the affected women “at risk” of developing cardiovascular disease. Objective of this study was to evaluate lipid parameters in Sudanese Patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. The study was case control hospital based carried, out on 32 diagnosed PCOS subjects aged (18-35 years) and 32 age-matched healthy women. Blood samples were collected in a fasting state and lipid parameters were estimated by Biosystem Kits using Spectrophotometer. The mean ± standard deviation of total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, VLDL, HDL respectively in cases were (194±36.3, 95.8±29.0, 128.4±32.1, 19.1±5.8, 47.1±14.1). while the mean and standard deviation of total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, VLDL, HDL respectively in control were (166.22±16.7, 86.1±12.6, 89.9±21.2, 17.22±2.53, 59.5±12.3). There were significant elevation in most lipid profile. The study concluded that, most lipid profile were significantly increased except triglycerides and VLDL.
