The plasma EDLS level increases in response to fluid or salt loading. EDLS may play a role in salt and blood pressure regulation. Being considered as a volume-expanding state, pregnancy may cause an increase in maternal EDLS. However, further studies to identify the origin of EDLS in normal pregnancy are needed.展开更多

It was found that (1) EH patients had a pronounced defect of both the active and passive trans-port of sodium ions by the erythrocytes; (2) a higher plasma level of EDLC was detected in EH pa-tients as compared with that of the control, but the changes of EDLC and soudium pump were notparallel; (3) after the administration of nifedipine and prazosin, the function of sodium pump wasmarkedly improved and the plasma level of EDLC decreased. In addition, the relationship betweenthe transport of sodium ions by erythrocytes and the pathogenesis of EH, and the effects of anti-hypertensive agents were discussed.展开更多
