Serial determinations of serum human placental lactogen (HPL) levels in women with haematocrit values of 28 per cent or less between 18 and 30 weeks gestation have been compared with the controls who had haematocrit values of 35 per cent or more. The women with low haematocrit values were found to have significantly raised HPL levels throughout the period of study. The placenta was significantly heavier in the anaemic group (P less than 0.01) but there was no significant difference in birth weights of the infants. It would seem that caution should be exercised in using HPL values as an index of placental function in anaemic women.
对妊娠18至30周时血细胞比容值为28%或更低的女性血清人胎盘催乳素（HPL）水平进行了系列测定，并与血细胞比容值为35%或更高的对照组进行了比较。发现血细胞比容值低的女性在整个研究期间HPL水平显著升高。贫血组的胎盘明显更重（P小于0.01），但婴儿出生体重没有显著差异。在将HPL值用作贫血女性胎盘功能指标时似乎应谨慎。
