claimAlthough triglyceride elevation alone does not necessarily increase the risk of complications, higher triglyceride levels have been linked to maternal disorders such as preeclampsia, gestational hypertension, and acute pancreatitis, as well as adverse fetal outcomes, including abnormal birth weight and preterm delivery.

claim1 Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is a lipoprotein particle structurally related to low-density lipoprotein (LDL), but characterized by the presence of an additional apolipoprotein(a) [apo(a)] component, covalently linked to apolipoprotein B-100 via a disulfide bond [].
