Measurement of "lamellar body phospholipid" in amniotic fluid as a method for assessing fetal lung maturity.
A simple, rapid micro-method, suitable for use in a routine clinical laboratory, is described for isolating a surfactant fraction from 0.1 mL of human amniotic fluid and measuring its phospholipid content. We determined the phospholipid content of this fraction, referred to as "lamellar body phospholipid," in 451 samples of amniotic fluid collected within two days of delivery and related the da...
متن کاملLamellar body phospholipid content of amniotic fluid and L/S ratio compared in assessing fetal lung maturity.
A micro-method has been devised for isolating a lung-derived membranous fraction from human amniotic fluid. The phospholipid content of this fraction, known as lamellar body phospholipid, provides an indication of fetal lung maturity (Ann. Clin. Biochem 16: 191, 1979). This method has now been applied to 479 samples of amniotic fluid from 330 pregnancies. The lecithin/sphingomyelin ratio has al...
متن کاملAccuracy of amniotic fluid lamellar body counting for evaluating fetal lung maturity.
BACKGROUND Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is one of the important causes of mortality in neonates. This study was designed to assess the role of the amniotic fluid lamellar body counting in predicting fetal lung maturity. METHOD This study was conducted during 2010, April to 2011, February, at Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran. One hundred and twenty eight amniotic fl...
متن کامل[Evaluation of fetal lung maturity by lamellar bodies counting in amniotic fluid].
PURPOSE To compare the lamellar body number density (LBND) count in amniotic fluid using the fluorescent polarization (FP) test as a diagnostic parameter for the assessment of fetal pulmonary maturity. METHOD This was an analytical, controlled cross-sectional study conducted on 60 pregnant women from March 2002 to December 2007. Amniotic fluid specimens were obtained by amniocentesis or at th...
متن کامل[Quantitative analysis of lamellar bodies in amniotic fluid as fetal pulmonary maturity indicator].
BACKGROUND/AIM Although lamellar bodies have been the center of interest over the last years, the published results of fetal pulmonary maturity determination according to their concentration in amniotic fluid are controversial. The aim of this study was to determine the significance of lamellar bodies, as well as the ratio lecithin/sphingomyelin (L/S) in amniotic fluid for the assessment of fet...
