Impending gestosis.

Five cases of pregnant woman with symptoms of right upper quadrant pain, hemoconcentration, liver dysfunction, and thrombocytopenia are presented as representative of impending gestosis. Plasma volume expansion achieved by either bed rest or intravenous albumin administration appeared to be effective therapy. It is presumed that impending gestosis represents an early form of severe toxemia (edema/proteinuria/hypertension [EPH[ gestosis).
