This study involved 150 pregnant women, with 50 women per trimester of pregnancy, compared to 50 control (non-pregnant) women between 18 and 35 years old. The results indicated at the haematological level, a drop in all erythrocyte parameters with increasingly high prevalence of anemia depending on the different trimesters of pregnancy (36; 62; 72%). Three types of anemia have been recorded. Normocytic normochromic anemia (ANN) presented much higher proportions during trimesters (16; 22 and 46%) followed by microcytic hypochromic anemia: AHm (10; 22; and 14%) and finally anemia normocytic hypochromic (AHN) with 10; 18 and 10% respectively in the first, second and third trimester. Leukocyte parameters showed hyperleukocytosis (12%) particularly in the second trimester of pregnancy. At biochemical level, lipid parameters revealed hyperlipidemia characterized by an increase in all parameters and particularly an increasing hypertriglyceridemia during pregnancy (24; 58 and 78%). Renal (creatine) and hepatic (total protein, transaminase) parameters were significantly reduced. In terms of minerals, the results reported hypercalcemia (40; 36; 38), decreasing hyponatremia during pregnancy (66; 52; 44%) and greater hypochloremia in the first and second trimesters (70; 76; 52%). In addition, the pregnant women in our study did not present a risk of developing gestational diabetes and cardiovascular disease in terms of their blood sugar levels and atherogenicity indices 1 and 2, for the most part showing normal values.
