Abstract

Human placental lactogen (HPL) levels were studied in 44 hypertensive patients and 23 healthy pregnant woman. HPL levels were in normal ranges in healthy pregnant women, but low HPL levels found in the hypertensive patients. HPL levels were related with severity of the disease in patients with gestational hypertension. We suggest that HPL levels may be used as an index of placental function but no foetal health in the patients with gestational hypertension .
