[The indications and need for diuretics in pregnancy].
The authors take into consideration specific cases of pregnancy with remarkable oedema caused by cardiac insufficiency, gestosis, pre-eclampsia and eclampsia. They emphasize that in these conditions and in other similar ones use of diuretics cannot be precluded. They report the case of a pregnant woman with severe cardiac insufficiency and considerable oedema observed at the Obstetric Clinical of Rome University. Thanks to diuretic therapy, the pregnancy could be followed through to full term.
