Abstract

In late toxemia of pregnancy the volume of the whole blood and the absolute amount of the serum proteins decreases not only in the developed clinical picture of illness, but also even before any clinical symptoms occur. In these potential patients the volume of the whole blood was lower by about 495 ml. and the absolute amount of the serum proteins about 23.60 Gm. than in physiologic pregnancy. These findings at the beginning of late toxemia of pregnancy may serve as an “early indicator” and may also help in the prevention of this disease.
