Abstract

The Authors report on the behaviour of the urinary concentrations of a micro-protein (beta-2-microglobulin) in normal, at risk and preeclamptic pregnancies. The results of this study give one more information on the renal function during pregnancy. The urinary evaluation of beta-2-microglobulin can be used as a diagnostic method in the study of renal damage the gestosis syndrome.
