It is responsible for a loss of serum proteins in the urine and kidney failure. During the last ten years, considerable progress has occurred in the understanding of the molecular bases of the disease with the description of three distinct mechanisms in humans.

However, limited evidence on this subject suggests that IUPC may not improve maternal or perinatal outcomes.

Objective: To compare the rate of extramembranous placement between 2 types of intrauterine pressure catheter.
Study Design: Women were randomized to a transducer-tipped intrauterine pressure catheter or an air-coupled intrauterine pressure catheter from October 1998 to August 1999. Women were eligible for the study if their attending physicians decided to place an intrauterine pressure catheter.
