Summary. Dopamine output in urine was determined in two groups of women with hypertension in pregnancy. A highly significant elevation of urine dopamine was detected in those women with pre‐eclampsia compared with that in matched control subjects. In contrast, no difference in urine dopamine output was detected between a group of multigravidae with hypertension in pregnancy and matched control subjects.
