  • Title: The prognostic and diagnostic value of total estriol in urine and in serum and of human placental lactogen hormone in serum in the last part of pregnancy.
    Author: Trolle D, Bock JE, Gaede P.
    Journal: Am J Obstet Gynecol; 1976 Dec 01; 126(7):834-44. PubMed ID: 998676.
    Abstract:
    The benefit to the antenatal care from using estriol and human placental lactogen (hPL) determinations is emphasized and likewise that special attention must be paid to values below the reference intervals. Referring to biosynthesis and place of production, a survey is given of the various causes of low estriol and/or low hPL values, and a number of clinical cases illustrate the matter. A follow-up study of children from pregnancies with low estriol values has disclosed an alarming number of cases of severe handicaps.
