Dyslipidaemia is the most common metabolic abnormality in PCOS, although the type and extent of findings have not been defined. Women with PCOS are at an increased risk for cardiovascular diseases. They share many features regarding the metabolic syndrome associated with polycystic ovaries. The study aimed to estimate lipid parameters among ladies with polycystic ovaries syndrome attending Kosti teaching hospital. Blood samples were collected after obtaining verbal consent from cases and controls. Serum lipid profiles were estimated by enzymatic reactions through spectrophotometer method.
