Summary Serial estimations of creatinine concentration in amniotic fluid revealed a rise in values with advancing pregnancy, both in normal pregnancy and in pre‐eclampsia. Amniotic fluid creatinine levels were significantly higher than levels in maternal serum and mixed cord blood and there was a linear relationship between maternal serum creatinine and amniotic fluid creatinine. Values in patients with severe pre‐eclampsia were found to be significantly greater than those in patients with mild pre‐eclampsia at corresponding periods of gestation.
