[Serum ceruloplasmin levels and cetrimonium tests in pregnancy]. 1982

J Badin, and M A Denne, and P Morin

Serum ceruloplamin levels were measured and Badin's cetrimonium tests (selective precipitation of serum glycoproteins with cetrimonium bromide) were performed after delivery in 72 out of 350 sera previously collected during the 4th-5th months of pregnancy. Thirty-six of the 72 sera were obtained from women whose pregnancy ended with toxaemia, and 36 from women chosen at random whose pregnancy ended normally. In women who developed toxaemia at 8-9 months, ceruloplasmin levels and cetrimonium test values were often higher at 4-5 months than in correlation between assays and tests. Ceruloplasmin determinations and cetrimonium tests therefore provide different types of information on the latent pathological condition which precedes toxaemia, but their predictive values must be taken jointly.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D009391	Nephelometry and Turbidimetry	Chemical analysis based on the phenomenon whereby light, passing through a medium with dispersed particles of a different refractive index from that of the medium, is attenuated in intensity by scattering. In turbidimetry, the intensity of light transmitted through the medium, the unscattered light, is measured. In nephelometry, the intensity of the scattered light is measured, usually, but not necessarily, at right angles to the incident light beam.	Turbidimetry,Nephelometry,Turbidimetry and Nephelometry
D011225	Pre-Eclampsia	A complication of PREGNANCY, characterized by a complex of symptoms including maternal HYPERTENSION and PROTEINURIA with or without pathological EDEMA. Symptoms may range between mild and severe. Pre-eclampsia usually occurs after the 20th week of gestation, but may develop before this time in the presence of trophoblastic disease.

D002593	Cetrimonium Compounds	Cetyltrimethylammonium compounds that have cationic detergent, antiseptic, and disinfectant activities. They are used in pharmaceuticals, foods, and cosmetics as preservatives; on skin, mucous membranes, etc., as antiseptics or cleansers, and also as emulsifiers. These compounds are toxic when used orally due to neuromuscular blockade.	Cetyltrimethylammonium Compounds,Cetrimides,Compounds, Cetrimonium,Compounds, Cetyltrimethylammonium
