    Abstract

    Xanthine and hypoxanthine are indicators of cellular hypoxia. The purpose of our study was to establish a reference range for the concentrations of xanthine and hypoxanthine in amniotic fluid. Of a total of 38 included in the investigation, 27 pregnant women were found to have low values for xanthine (less than 1.2 mumol/l) and hypoxanthine (less than 0.4 mumol/l). To our knowledge, this is the first attempt to define a reference range for xanthine and hypoxanthine concentration in amniotic fluid during pregnancy.
