  • Title: [Effect of the vernix caseosa content in the amniotic fluid on the actual pH-value of the amniotic fluid].
    Author: Prott V, Riemer WD.
    Journal: Zentralbl Gynakol; 1976; 98(4):225-31. PubMed ID: 8936.
    Abstract:
    To determine the eventual influence of the vernix caseosa on the actual pH-value of the amniotic fluid we compared the pH-value of 50 samples of non-filtered amniotic fluid and the pH-values of filtered portions of the same samples. The samples were taken after delivery of the fetus. We found a distinct shift of the pH-values of the filtered portions to alkaline values. It is recommended that these results should be taken into consideration in laboratory analysis of amniotic fluid.
