Abstract
SummaryEstimations of levels of heat‐stable alkaline phosphatase in amniotic fluid and maternal serum were performed in 78 normal and 27 pre‐eclamptic pregnant mothers. The concentration of this enzyme was greater in maternal serum than in amniotic fluid in both normal pregnancy and pre‐eclampsia, and the correlation between maternal serum HSAP and liquor HSAP in both groups was statistically significant. Mean values of liquor HSAP were higher in pre‐eclampsia than in normal pregnancy at corresponding periods of gestation, and in both groups there was an abrupt rise in levels after the 36th week of pregnancy
