Urinary findings and renal function in hypertensive and normotensive women.

As found from a population study of women, those with arterial hypertension reported more often a history of toxaemia in pregnancy and had more often proteinuria, bacteriuria and impaired renal concentrating capacity than normotensive women. Serum potassium was found to be lower in treated as well as in untreated hypertensive women than in normotensive women.
