Abstract
|
|
|
44 toxemic patients were studied for the 24 hour urinary 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid(5-HIAA)in the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Chungnam National University Hospital during the period of 9 months from October, 1953 to June; 1984.
The results obtained wire follows;
1. The mean urinary 5-HIAA level of normal pregnant women was 3.7 mg/L.
2. The mean urinary 5-HIAA level of mild form of preeclampsia was 5.3 mg/L which was significantly increased than normal patients.
3. The mean urinary 5-HIAA level of severe form of preeclampsia was 16.8 mg/L which was significantly increased than normal patients.
4. The mean urinary 5-HIAA level of CHVD with superimposed toxemia was 4.9 mg/L which was not signficantly different with normal patients.
Accordingly this study demonstrated that urinary 5-HIAA excretion was increased in toxemic patients. Therefore, we could confirm that the blood level of serotonin in toxemic patients was increased than normal pregnant women.
