Alpha-fetoprotein was determined in the sera of parturients with normal pregnancy and delivery, parturients with preterm delivery and with preeclampsia. Alpha-fetoprotein was determined by the plates of Behring Institute. The authors established that after delivery alpha-fetoprotein did not differ substantially in the separate groups. Furthermore till the eight day after delivery the reduction of alpha-fetoprotein was minimal with the exception in the parturients with preterm delivery.
