[Histidine-rich-3,8S-alpha 2-glycoprotein in normal pregnancy and EPH-gestosis]

Histidine-rich-3,8S-alpha 2-glycoprotein (HRG) was determined in samples of plasma collected during normal pregnancy after 15th week. HRG-level declines during pregnancy to about half concentration of start of second trimester. HRG-level return by 9 days post partum to level of nonpregnant women. In cases of EPH-gestosis HRG-level was about the same amount like in normal pregnancies.
