Doppler Examination Clinical Trial
Official title:
Relation of 3rd Trimester Uterine Artery Doppler Flow Velocimetry Indices, Factor V Leiden Mutation and Placental Pathology to the Severity of Preeclampsia
this summary studied the predictive values of factor V Leiden mutation , doppler indices , placental pathology to unfavorable fetal and maternal outcomes
leiden mutation is activated protein C resistance with hypercoagulable states and increased thrombotic risk. 99 % are heterozygous and 1 % is homozygous , very rare cases are psoudohomozygous with factor V deficiency. relation to this mutation was studied in severe preeclamptic patients. doppler indices of uterine arteries , increased pulsetility index or unilateral or bilateral uterine artery notch and placental pathology were studied. ;
