thin ewes or very over-conditioned ewes and ewes carrying multiple pregnanciesare more likely to develop pregnancy toxemia (ketosis). pregnancy toxemia is a metabolic disorder characterized by hypoglycemia and hyperketonemia resulting from incapacity of the ewes to maintain adequate energy balance (usually in the last 5-6 weeks).available information about pregnancy toxemia focuses mainly on pa...

Renal heniodynamies, electrolyte excretion and plasma level of glucorticoids were studied in pregnant sheep before and after the experimental induction of toxemia. Marked renal ischemia occurred in the animals which developed toxemia. This abnormality occurred coneomitantly with an increase in plasma corticoids. Despite the renal ischemia, arterial pressure remained the same. There are some sim...

The cause of toxemia of pregnancy is still unclear, and therefore this condition is only treated symptomatically. Edema, hypertension, and proteinuria are the three key elements of this condition, but drug treatment generally targets only hypertension. Although hydralazine hydrochloride and methyldopa have long been used as antihypertensive therapies, newer drugs such as calcium antagonists hav...

the effect and outcome of pregnancy in patients with chronic idiopathic glomerulonephritis was studied. the study population consisted of 98 patients. all patients were divided into 8 groups according to presence, absence or coexistence of 3 general risk factors such as hypertension, renal failure and nephrotic syndrome. the adverse effect of renal disease and risk factors on the outcome of pre...

The ratio of males to females in 1061 babies born to mothers with toxemia of pregnancy is 1.24. The ratio increases as the severity of the disease increases, being 1.71 in cases in which the urinary output of protein is equal to or greater than 3 grams per 24 hours. Histoincompatibility of the fetus and mother, including incompatibility due to an antigen (or antigens) dependent on the Y chromos...

Pregnancy toxemia was induced in nine pregnant goat does with twins by the stress of fasting with access to water in late pregnancy to investigate the effect of pregnancy toxemia on immunoglobulins (IgA, IgM, and IgG), cortisol, insulin, thyroid, and growth hormones and their correlations with the plasma levels of glucose and beta-Hydroxybutyrate. Plasma samples were collected at 0, 12, 24, 36,...
