摘要: Serum levels of complement components (C3 and C4) were measured serially in 173 initially normotensive pregnant women the results compared with those obtained 32 nonpregnant similar ages. There was significant elevation serum both C3 C4 during gestation. Pregnancy-associated hypertension developed third trimester 26 but they had the-same degree as did 147 who remained throughout their pregnancy. Measurements therefore no value predicting development pregnancy-associated hypertension.
