Platelet angiotensin II binding may be a useful prognostic indicator for the development of pre-eclampasia in women with pregnancy-induced hypertension: Preliminary communication

O'Brien presents a preliminary investigation to assess the value of platelet angiotensin II binding as a prognostic indicator for subsequent pre-eclampsia in women admitted with non-proteinuric pregnancy-induced hypertension. The results indicate that angiotensin II binding measured at the time of admission to hospital for nonproteinuric pregnancy-induced hypertension may have a role in predicting the onset of pre-eclampsia or eclampsia.
