Abstract

A marked rise in excretion of a sodium retaining factor has been observed in toxemic pregnancies in both diabetic and non-diabetic patients. The increase has been observed in one patient before other toxemic symptoms have become evident. No parallel increases in 11-oxysteroid excretions were found in these patients.
