[Preliminary study on the immune function of red cells in patients with pregnancy-induced hypertension].

This study compared the immune adherent function of red cells, circulating immune complex (CIC) and T lymphocyte immune function in cases of pregnancy induced hypertension (30 cases) and normal pregnancy (30 cases). In the former group the rosette rate of red cells C3b receptor was 8.8 +/- 3.2% (normal rate: 19.4 +/- 6.0%), and rosette rate of E-RFC was 46 +/- 2 +/- 7.3% (normal rate: 62.3 +/- 6.4%). In women with normal pregnancy, the former was 16.9 +/- 4.8%, and the latter was 58.0 +/- 8.3%. In women with pregnancy induced hypertension, the immune adherent function of red cells and T lymphocyte immune function were both lower than those in normal pregnant women, while CIC was higher. In normal pregnant women, the immune adherent function of red cells and T lymphocyte immune function were lower than those in the non-pregnant, while CIC was higher. The mechanism and significance of the red cells immunological adherent function in pregnancy induced hypertension were discussed.
