Abstract
|
|
|
The changes of plasma renin activity, aldosterone concentration, serum sodium-, and potassium levels
were studied before and after the water loading followed by diuretics injection.
The materials were: 13 non-, 11 normal´, a1ld 11 toxemic pregnancy cases. The plasma renin acti
vity and aldosterone concentration of the cord and postpartum blood were also measured. Following were the results:
1. The plasma renin activity was elevated significantly in normal pregnancy, and slightly in toxemic pregnancy. The serum sodium levels were decreased in pregnancy.
2. The plasma aldosterone concentration was slightly decreased in normal pregnancy, and slightly increased in toxemic pregnancy, however, statistically insignificant.
3. The plasma renin activity of the cord and postpartum blood were lower than those of pregnancy cases.
4. The changes of plasma renin activity after the diuretic administration showed an initial increase, which recovered within 2 hours. These changes were the least in normal pregnancy, and the most in toxemic pregnancy.
5. The changes of plasma aldosterone concentration after the diuretic administration were similar to those of plasma resin activity, although the variations were not so wide.
