How useful is uterine artery Doppler ultrasonography in predicting pre-eclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction?
All editorial matter in CMAJ represents the opinions of the authors and not necessarily those of the Canadian Medical Association. Pre-eclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction remain important causes of maternal and neonatal complications and death. These 2 conditions are felt to be the result of abnormal placenta formation involving abnormal trophoblast invasion of spiral arteries and a r...
متن کاملThe Use of l-Arginine in the Management of Pre-Eclampsia and Intrauterine Growth Restriction.
This article sets out to discuss the role if any of arginine in pregnancy, especially its use in the management/prevention of intrauterine growth restriction and preeclampsia. Nitric oxide is a free radical that plays a role in human physiology in various ways. Its role in obstetrics supposedly to induce smooth muscle relaxation and play a mitigatory role in the above mentioned conditions needs...
متن کاملCombined Screening for Early Detection of Pre-Eclampsia
Although the precise pathophysiology of pre-eclampsia remains unknown, this condition continues to be a major cause of maternal and fetal mortality. Early prediction of pre-eclampsia would allow for timely initiation of preventive therapy. A combination of biophysical and biochemical markers are superior to other tests for early prediction of the development of pre-eclampsia. Apart from the use...
متن کاملMannose-binding lectin (MBL) codon 54 gene polymorphism protects against development of pre-eclampsia, HELLP syndrome and pre-eclampsia-associated intrauterine growth restriction.
Insufficient invasion of the spiral arteries by trophoblast cells is associated with the etiology of pre-eclampsia, the syndrome of hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes and low platelet counts (HELLP) and pre-eclampsia-associated intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is a component of the innate immune system. MBL-mediated activation of the complement cascade is an i...
