[Parameters of blood toxicity in late pregnancy toxemias]

Parameters of blood toxicity (content of medium molecular compounds and paramecia test) have been studied in 41 practically healthy women with normal pregnancy and 151 women with various forms of late toxemia of pregnancy. In late toxemia of pregnancy there is a definite enhancement of blood toxicity, as compared to health controls, the degree of toxicity directly correlating with the severity of toxemia. Blood toxicity parameters in women with primary toxemia of pregnancy are significantly lower than those in women with secondary toxemia, which may be the reason for more severe late toxemia forms in women with extragenital pathology.
