Comparison of Fetal Kidney Length with Biparietal Diameter in Second Trimester and Femur Length in Third Trimester for Prediction of Gestational Age – A Case Study
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 1
Abstract
Obstetric sonography plays an important role in the accurate determination of intrauterine gestational age. The exemplary safety record of diagnostic ultrasound is probably an important reason that it has become so widely used.1 Ultrasonic measurement of fetal biometry (CRL, BPD, FL) are considered to be reliable when they are performed in first & early 2nd trimester (<24 weeks). Currently there is no single fetal measurement used for accurate estimation of gestational age in the 3rd trimester especially in women who booked late & unsure about their LMPs.2 Several longitudinal studies have been performed in the western countries concerning sonographic measurement of foetal kidney length. Initially these were done for diagnosis of renal malformation in utero & later on they were to find out the correlation between the fetal kidney length and the gestational age. So we also planned to measure the fetal kidney length sonographically & to consider it as a new parameter to determine the gestational age . Hence this study is to establish this linear correlation.
