title: Plasma levels of non-conjugated oestrone in high risk pregnancies.
abstract: Plasma levels of non-conjugated oestrone were measured with a radio-immunological method in women with complicated pregnancies during the last trimester. A comparison was performed between values of normal pregnancies from a previous report (3) and those of pathological pregnancies. Women with severe pre-eclampsia were found to have low values and to some extent the oestrone level could predict fetal outcome. In pregnant patients with long-standing diabetes mellitus the plasma levels of oestrone seemed to be higher than those of uncomplicated pregnancy. In women with pregnancies complicated by Rh-isoimmunization, oestrone plasma levels were similar to those found in normal pregnancies.
