Abstract
Summary 1. Seventy patients with toxemia of pregnancy were subjected to postpartum uterine curettage in an attempt to ameliorate the hypertension. 2. In the 67 patients classified as having acute toxemia, 64 exhibited prompt returns of the blood pressure to normotensive levels. 3. Three patients with essential hypertension without superimposed toxemia of pregnancy showed no blood pressure response by this procedure. 4. The removal of the decidua postpartum in patients with acute toxemia substantiates our concepts on the etiological mechanisms involved in hypertension of this disease
