[Liver function in undisturbed pregnancy].

In order to evaluate liver function during pregnancy the enzyme activities of GPT, GOT, GLDH, LDH, AP, LAP, gamma-GT and CHE were determined in 272 healthy pregnant women from the 16th week of gestation up to term. The normal range of GPT, GOT, GLDH, LDH, gamma-GT and CHE did not differ significantly from those in non-pregnant women. Increases in AP and LAP are conditioned by placental synthesis. The functional reserves of a healthy liver obviously suffice to compensate for increased demands during pregnancy. Increases in enzyme aktivities during pregnancy are not physiologic - except for increases in AP and LAP.

[Longtime therapy of congenital factor XIII deficiency using factor XIII concentrate].

Factor XIII was determined by enzymatic and immunochemical methods in 3 patients with congenital factor XIII deficiency. Factor XIII activity measured by trans-glutaminase assay was below 1% of normal value in each of these cases. Immunelectrophoresis determination revealed the absence of the functionally active subunit A, whereas subunit S was only slightly diminished (30 to 50% of the normal value). Substitution with factor XIII concentrate caused a parallel increase of factor XIII activity and subunit A concentration. No uptake of factor XIII activity or of subunit. A by platelets could be demonstrated. Despite discontinuous substitution over a period of six years no antibody against factor XIII activity could be demonstrated in one patient with congenital factor XIII deficiency.
