[beta-Lipoprotein serum levels in the months preceeding pregnancy toxemia and its relationship with the Cetrimonium test (author's transl)].
beta-Lipoprotein determination and selective serum protein precipitation with Cetrimonium bromide (Badin's Cetrimonium test) were carried out retroactively (after delivery) on sera selected out of 700 sera collected from women at 4-5 months and 6-7 months of pregnancy. The selected sera were those from 36 women in the first group and 37 in the second group, who had ended pregnancy with toxemia. The sera were matched to sera collected at the same period from women whose pregnancy had been normal until the end. In both the 4-5 month and the 6-7 month groups, women with toxemia at the end of pregnancy had significantly higher levels of beta-lipoprotein and higher Cetrimonium tests but the two data were not correlated. The information they provide on the abnormal condition preceeding toxemia symptoms are different : hyperlipoproteinemia would be a predisposing factor and the Cetrimonium test an evidence of some latent inflammatory process.
