title: [Results of HPL radioimmunoassay in normal and pathologic early pregnancy].
abstract: Radioimmunological assays of HPL have been carried out in early pregnancy in uncomplicated cases (n = 100) and in cases of abortus imminens (n = 49). The earliest detection of HPL was possible in the 6th week of pregnancy. When the tendency of the HPL-level was decreasing follow-up examination showed a beginning abortus. In every case of decreased HPL-level the progress of pregnancy was abnormal. Conclusions about the prognostic value and the limits of the HPL-RIA are discussed.
