Angiogenic growth factor levels in maternal and fetal blood: correlation with Doppler ultrasound parameters in pregnancies complicated by pre‐eclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction

Abstract

The correlations between maternal and fetal angiogenic growth factor serum levels and Doppler ultrasound indices of uterine and umbilical arteries in pre-eclampsia and IUGR reflect the severity of the disorders especially for the fetus. A combination of both measurements may be useful in future screening for early prediction of pregnancy complications. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
