It is known that the skin, in addition to other functions, has an important excretory function, which is of particular importance during pregnancy, when, due to the "restructuring" of the body, increased requirements are imposed on the excretory organs. Meanwhile, our knowledge of this important system in pregnant women is still very scanty. Studies of Scaglioni in our clinic of Dr. Sidorov showed a decrease in the part of the excretory function of the skin, which is commonly called perspiratio insensibilis, in a pregnant woman. A particularly sharp decrease in this function was found in pregnancy toxicosis.
