[Monitoring of high-risk pregnancies (author's transl)].

The AA. have monitored 202 patients affected by several pathological conditions and at different stages of their pregnancies. Among them, 173 were pregnancies without complications. Monitoring was performed on the basis of the following 3 indices: HCS radioimmunological assay, total plasmatic estriol, and vaginal cytology. Results show, as demonstrated in the graphs and the final discussion, that already within the first weeks of gestation the pathological cases under observation presented marked modifications of the indices studied when compared to controls.
