AI Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed water balance in 53 postpartum women using bio-impedance spectrometry to measure body water components.
- Participants with moderate gestosis showed higher levels of extra-cellular and interstitial water on the first day after delivery compared to healthy subjects, but these levels began to normalize by day 5.
- In contrast, women with severe gestosis maintained elevated levels of total body water, extra-cellular, and interstitial water even by day 5 after delivery when compared to healthy controls.
Article Abstract
The water-sector misbalance was studied in 53 puerperants. The method of bio-impedance spectrometry was made use of to determine the total body water, extra-cellular- cellular- and interstitial water as well as the circulating blood volume. The levels of extra-cellular and interstitial water were found to be reliably higher in patients with moderate gestosis on day 1 after delivery versus healthy subjects. Stable trends towards normalizing the volumes of extra-cellular and interstitial water were registered by day 5. As for patients with sever gestosis, a reliably increasing total body water as well as extra-cellular and interstitial water persisted in them by day 5 after delivery versus the controls.
