Plasma levels of HPL, P, and E2 was serially measured between weeks 30 to 36 in simplex and duplex pregnancies. Levels of both HPL and P were significantly higher in duplex than in simplex pregnancies. However, this was not the case for E2. There was a significant correlation between HPL and P levels. It is indicated that measurement of plasma P levels, as those of HPL levels, but not E2 levels is of value for detecting twin pregnancy.

Estimation of HPL during the twenty-ninths to the thirtieth week of pregnancy is a simple and safe method for detecting twins. Nine out of 10 pregnant women have a value below 5.0 mug per milliliter, which excludes the suspicion of twins. In the remaining women with higher values the diagnosis can be confirmed or excluded by ultrasound or x-ray.
