CONVENTIONAL ULTRASOUND AND ABNORMAL UTERINE DOPPLER IN THE PREDICTION OF PREECLAMPSIA AND EFFECT OF LOW DOSE ASPIRIN
DOAA SALAH EL DIN MAHMOUD;
Abstract
aregnancy can induce hypertension in normotensive women or
aggravate already existing hypertension. pre-eclampsia is almost always a disease of nulliparous women. It is a disease of signs and the pregnant woman is usually unaware of these signs. By the time symptoms such as headache, visual disturbances or epigastric pain develop, the disorder is almost always severe. Hence, the importance of prenatal care in
the early detection and management of pre-eclampsia.
The cause of the development of pregnancy-induced hypertension is unknown. The possibility that immunological as well as endocrine and genetic mechanisms are involved in the genesis of pre-eclampsia..Several methods have been proposed in the prediction of pre-eclampsia including non laboratory methods as parity, family history, reproductive history and early pregnancy blood pressure as •well as laboratory methods including serum uric acid, serum iron, serum alpha fetoprotein, urinary albumin and calcium excretion.
Doppler ultrasound have been proposed as a screening test for pre• eclampsia. Doppler ultrasound now offers obstetricians the potential to evaluate uteroplacental and fetal blood flow serially and so increase our understanding of the pathophysiology of complicated pregnancy.
