Abstract
Correlation Between Fetal Ductus Venosus Doppler and Amniotic Fluid Index in Prediction of Perinatal Outcome in Preeclamptic Pregnancies
Highlights
Hypertensive disorders complicating pregnancy are common and form one of the deadly triad along with haemorrhage and infection that results in much of the maternal morbidity and mortality related to pregnancy[1].Preeclampsia is acute specific hypertension due to pregnancy Occurring only in human female during pregnancy
Characterized by hypertension with proteinuria and/or edema in the second half of pregnancy or early puerperum [2], mortality related to pregnancy[2]
It would be very attractive if the assessment of the fetal status were more important than the gestational age effects on perinatal outcomes, so that the moment of delivery could be based on the tests of fetal assessment
Summary
Hypertensive disorders complicating pregnancy are common and form one of the deadly triad along with haemorrhage and infection that results in much of the maternal morbidity and mortality related to pregnancy[1]. Preeclampsia is acute specific hypertension due to pregnancy (one of PIH) Occurring only in human female during pregnancy. Characterized by hypertension with proteinuria and/or edema in the second half of pregnancy (except with vesicular mole) or early puerperum [2], mortality related to pregnancy[2]. The main pathologic feature of preeclampsia is vasospasm, which leads to impairment of blood flow to various organs the uterus and placenta[3]. Impairment of uteroplacental circulation affects the placental functions that sustain the fetus. Preeclampsia is conventionally considered to be a maternal disorder in which the fetus is an incidental participant. A more complete perception is that the placental problem causes both maternal fetal syndromes[4,5]
