title: [Microcirculation and hypertension in pregnancy].
abstract: The hypervolaemic and vasodilated circulation in normal pregnancy results in a high flow- low blood viscosity situation. In contrast, patients with gestational hypertension may have a contracted plasma volume. Hypovolaemia is reflected in a higher haematocrit than normal. In the cases of a hypovolaemic state, hemoconcentration is associated with a low cardiac output. In fetal distress and proteinuric hypertension the rheological data has a high predictive value for perinatal complications.
