[Results of placental flow measurements in patients with pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH)].

On the basis of examination results in a total of 21 women with pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) the half-life of the inflow phase (as a reference parameter of nuclear medical placental flow measurement) and the birthweight were correlated with the findings in corresponding patients with complication-free pregnancies. The half-life was found to be significantly increased in cases of PIH, indicating a decrease in placental blood flow. The birthweight of newborns of women with PIH was statistically significantly lower than in the control group. The results obtained are discussed with reference to the literature.
