1 Effects of pre-eclampsia on maternal plasma, cerebrospinal fluid, and umbilical cord urotensin II concentrations: a pilot study†   E. Cowley, J.P. Thompson, P. Sharpe, J. Waugh, N. Ali, D.G.

2 Fig 1 Time course for changes in MAP in control and PET patients. Data (mean and sd) are presented in 4 week epochs from the 16th week onwards with multiple epoch measurements averaged. One patient in the PET group went to more than 40 weeks but was excluded from the figure for clarity. There was a significant rise in MAP during the entire course of pregnancy in the PET group (P=0.003). This differed from control from 28 weeks gestation onwards (P=0.015 at 28–32 weeks and P=0.001 at 32–36 weeks).

3 Fig 2 Plasma, CSF, and umbilical cord plasma (Cord) UII concentrations in normotensive (a) and PET (b) groups. Data from each individual patient are shown and the number of samples is given in parentheses on the x-axis. There were no differences between the study populations but in the PET group cord UII levels were higher than paired plasma.
