Intravascular volume determinations and fetal outcome in hypertensive diseases of pregnancy. 1977

E C Soffronoff, and B M Kaufmann, and J F Connaughton

With the Evans blue technique, 178 plasma volume, blood volume, and red cell volume determinations were studied in 51 hypertensive and 35 normotensive gravidas. Hypertensive pregnancies were classified according to the American Committee on Maternal Welfare schema. A large range and overlap in plasma and blood volume determinations was found, but mean values in patients with hypertensive disease were significantly depressed when compared with normotensive gravidas. A decrease in red cell mass was observed only in the severe hypertensive group of women. In general, those hypertensive patients with plasma and blood volume determinations approaching those of the normotensive control patients were associated with a favorable maternal and fetal outcome. Extreme hypovolemia occurred in most pregnancies associated with severe hypertensive disease and evidence of uteroplacental insufficiency.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more.

D010953 Plasma Volume Volume of PLASMA in the circulation. It is usually measured by INDICATOR DILUTION TECHNIQUES. Blood Plasma Volume,Blood Plasma Volumes,Plasma Volumes,Volume, Blood Plasma,Volume, Plasma,Volumes, Blood Plasma,Volumes, Plasma
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.
