[The effect of calf blood dialysate on the excretion of estriol in placental insufficiency].

The efficacy of a dialysate of calf blood in the treatment of chronic placental insufficiency is assessed using the urinary oestriol elimination as parameter. Compared with a control group, those cases receiving 2 times 250 ml protein-free dialysate of calf blood (Solcoseryl) in saline solution over 9 days showed a significant increase in the daily quantity of urinary oestriol elimination already from the second day of treatment onwards. Other conventional procedures in the medical treatment of placental insufficiency are discussed. Some of these are known to have secondary effects or must be regarded as invasive.
