title: [Arterial hypertension in pregnancy: evaluation of renal damage through the study of NAG urinary activity].
abstract: NAG-urinary activity was assessed in order to study the renal effects of arterial hypertension in pregnant women. The results obtained showed that there were no significant differences between mean levels of enzymuria in control subjects and normotensive pregnant women. On the contrary, significant differences were found between these two groups and hypertensive pregnant women (above all if arterial hypertension predated pregnancy). The paper stresses the usefulness of this method, which is reliable and non-invasive, for an accurate assessment of the extent of renal damage caused by arterial hypertension during the course of pregnancy.
