[Clinical significance of glycolysis indicators in the evaluation of the condition of the fetus and newborn infant].

A total of 40 full-term newborns, 41 miscarried fetuses and 196 pregnant women were examined. Of these, 85 women had an uncomplicated pregnancy, 70 were with threatened abortion and 41 with miscarriage within the gestation period of 24-27 weeks. Blood was examined for the glycolysis parameters (glucose, lactate, activity of LDH and its isozymes) and hormonal concentrations: ACTH, cortisol, insulin, C-peptide estriol; urine was examined for excretion of estrogens, pregnanediol++, total neutral 17-CS. It has been established that newborn infants assessed by the Apgar score as having 8-10 points and developing in conditions of threatened abortion are born in a state of hypoxia of different degrees, with dysfunction of the endocrine organs.
