title: [Changes in estriol excretion in the urine and kidney function during Partusisten infusion].
abstract: In a random controlled trial the effects of a betamimetic infusion (Fenoterol 2 micrograms/min) on the estriol excretion and the renal function were analysed in 30 patients in the 28.-34. weeks of pregnancy. It was stated that the estriol excretion in urine during the Partusisten infusion significant decreases (from 663 micrograms/2 h to 376 micrograms/2 h, i.e. to 56%). The diuresis and the creatinine-clearance showed a significant diminishing too (from 218 ml/2 h to 154 ml/2 h and from 131 ml/min to 88 ml/min). The decrease of estriol excretion is caused on the one hand by the diminution of GFR, on the other by a direct effect of betamimetics on the kidney. From the results obtained in this study the following consequences can be drawn: 1. The determination of urinary estriol during tocolytic treatment is not a suitable method for the monitoring the fetoplacental unit. 2. Applying the tocolysis in an infusion a possible reduction of water intake and a strict control of water balance is of great importance. 3. The betamimetic therapy in patients having an impaired renal function can be applied only with great precaution.
