Calcium and sodium transport in gestational hypertension

The enzymatic activities of Na +/K + ATPase and Ca 2+ ATPase were determined on erythrocyte membranes from 9 normotensive and 9 gestational hypertensive pregnant women near term. A reduction in the activity of the Na +/K + ATPase and a relative increase in the activity of the Ca 2+ ATPase were found...

Zusammenfassung:	The enzymatic activities of Na +/K + ATPase and Ca 2+ ATPase were determined on erythrocyte membranes from 9 normotensive and 9 gestational hypertensive pregnant women near term. A reduction in the activity of the Na +/K + ATPase and a relative increase in the activity of the Ca 2+ ATPase were found in the hypertensive patients, possibly due to a conformational alteration of erythrocyte membranes. This observation supports the possible role of the transmembrane cation transport in the pathogenesis of gestational hypertension.
