title: Human placental lactogen and plasma total oestriol values in the third trimester of pregnancy.
abstract: The value of serial human placental lactogen and plasma total oestriol measurements in assessing fetoplacental function early in the third trimester, is discussed. In particular, the use of the two measurements simultaneously may provide an indication of impending fetal death, of growth retardation, or of gross fetal malformation.
