[Kidney function in pregnant women with primary arterial hypertension]

Investigations covered 64 women in the III trimester of pregnancy. In this group 34 were with diagnosed primary arterial hypertension (examined group), and 30 were apparently healthy (control group). In both groups the blood serum concentrations of creatinine, urea, uric acid and electrolytes were determined. Creatinine clearance and acid-base balance were determined in these cases also. In 24 hours urine samples the NH4+, H+, Na+ and K+ ions concentrations were established. Impaired kidney function was shown in the patients from the examined group.
