Using two different Clq-dependent assays for quantification of circulating immune complexes (CIC), the levels were compared in sera from 32 women with pregnancy-related hypertension and in sera of 32 matched controls. No difference in the CIC levels was observed. The levels of CIC in the hypertensive patients were not correlated to placental weight, fetal weight, or diastolic blood pressure.
