Uterine artery Doppler and <scp>sFlt</scp>‐1/<scp>PlGF</scp> ratio: usefulness in diagnosis of pre‐eclampsia

Abstract

Abnormal mPI-UtA and sFlt-1/PlGF ratio are common in early PE. In late PE, mPI-UtA is normal in most cases and thus not diagnostically useful. The sFlt-1/PlGF ratio shows high specificity but low sensitivity to confirm PE when suspected.
