title: [Precipitable C4-poor immune complexes in HELLP syndrome and pre-eclampsia].
abstract: In 16 patients with HELLP syndrome and 10 patients with preeclampsia, laser nephelometric analysis of PEG-precipitated immunocomplexes revealed a decrease in the complement component C4. This is interpreted as a further indication of an immunologic component in the pathogenesis of these disorders.
