Abstract

Estriol excreation was studied in 216 normal and 61 pathologic pregnancies. The 95% fiducial limits of the normal excretion of estriol, within which 95% out of 100 future determinations in normal pregnancies are expected to fall, were established. The estriol curve in normal pregnancy in this study agrees well in its general shape with those presented by previous investigators who used different chemical methods of determination. The estriol values in pathologic pregnancies with preeclampsia. intrauterine fetal death and antepartum hemorrage have been analyzed. The clinical significance of estriol determinations during pregnancy was discussed.
