N2 - Sixty four patients (51 pregnant and 13 non-pregnant women), were investigated for atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) levels, plasma volume, plasma renin activity and aldosterone. Twenty three women had a normal pregnancy, eighteen experienced a hypertensive one, while ten women were in pre-eclamptic conditions. ANP levels were significantly increased, whether in normotensive or in hypertensive pregnancies, probably because of a counterbalancing effect of this peptide on sodium and water deposits. Plasma volume, plasma renin activity and aldosterone showed different courses.
