The study was carried out on 23 samples of amniotic fluid taken (by amniocentesis) between 35th and 39th week from pregnant women with arterial hypertension (13 cases of hypertension induced by pregnancy, 5 cases of primary hypertension and 5 cases of hypertension accompanying renal diseases). Seven women undergoing the study gave birth to newborns with symptoms of delayed intrauterine growth below 16 centiles (group examined), 16 mothers gave birth to eutrophic babies (control group). The amniotic fluid of the two groups was studied for the following biochemical indexes: alanine and aspartate aminotransferase alkaline total and thermostabile phosphatase, ceruloplasmin, alpha-amylase, general protein, beta-lipoproteins, cholesterol, uric acid, urea and creatinine. No significant changes were found in the parameters determined between the group examined and the control group.

Twenty-five samples obtained by amniocentesis were studied in 25 pregnant women between 35 and 40 weeks of pregnancy with hypertension. The following biochemical investigations were done in the samples: total protein, beta-lipoproteins, cholesterol, uric acid, urea, creatinine, AlAT and AspAT, total alkaline phosphatase and its thermostable isoenzyme, ceruloplasmin and alpha-amylase. The results were analysed in relation to the development of the respiratory distress syndrome in the newborn and were subjected to statistical analysis. In the amniotic fluid of hypertensive mothers in whose children the respiratory distress syndrome developed, reduction was found in the concentrations of beta-lipoproteins and cholesterol. This may have a prognostic significance in the prediction of respiratory distress in early neonatal period.

Sixty two samples of amniotic fluid were submitted to biochemical investigation including 31 samples from women with pregnancy complicated by hypertension (studied group with blood pressure -65 +/- 15/95 +/- 5 mm Hg) and 31 samples deriving from healthy pregnant women (control group with mean blood pressure 118 +/- 10/74 +/- +/- 9 mm Hg). The following parameters of amniotic fluid were measured: 1) aminotransferases: alanine AlAT and aspartate AspAT, 2) alkaline phosphatase (APt) and its thermostable isoenzyme (APh), 3) ceruloplasmin (Crlp), 4) alpha-amylase (alpha-Amy). The study showed pregnancy complicated by hypertension is related to fetal salivary gland's immaturity presenting decreased activity of alpha amylase in amniotic fluid. Amniotic fluids deriving from women with pregnancy complicated by hypertension showed normal activities of AlAT, AspAT, APt, APh and Crlp.
