In a primigravida of 25 years of age who had an attack of eclampsia seven hours after Caesarean section we found an abnormally low oncotic pressure (i.e. colloid osmotic pressure,
COP
) in the plasma, namely, 14.5 mm Hg instead of the normal value which is greater than 20mm Hg. In EPH-gestosis there is a pathogenetic dependence of the oedemas, hypovolaemia, haemoconcentration and insufficient perfusion of parenchymatous organs, on the transcapillary colloid osmotic pressure gradient. As a result of colloid substitution with human albumin (20-40 g per day) effected with oncometric control, the
COP
increased stepwise to 18.3 mm Hg within one week and the distribution of fluid between the intravascular and extravascular space normalised. Repeated direct measurement of the colloid osmotic pressure (in our case by Onkometer
BMT
921, Thomae) proved extremely helpful especially as a means of therapy control.
