Abstract

Introduction. Preeclampsia (PE) is one of the most important obstetric pathologies, due to the high risk of both fetal and maternal morbidity and mortality. One of the causes of this pathology the is poor trophoblastic invasion, which leads to a restriction in utero-placental circulation. There isn’t a safe noninvasive investigation for this disease. Aim and objectives of the study. We tested to see if we have an association between the body mass index (BMI) and the resistivity index (RI) on a group of 33 pregnant patience who have a high risk in developing preeclampsia. Material and methods. The data for this study were collected using the Microsoft Excel software. For the statistical analysis we used two software’s: Microsoft Excel and SPSSv17. All the patients were tested during the same period, in 2017. We have for each patient two measurements: during the first and second trimester of pregnancy. For this data we run some comparison studies in order to see if we can find an association between this medical variables. Results. Acording to this study we can say that if the BMI is increasing than the Doppler values are increaseaing as well, which can conduct us to the idea that obesity can be considered as a major risk factor for the apparence of preeclampsia during pregnancies. Conclusions. The epidemiology of preeclampsia reflects a wide range of risk factors as well as the complexity and heterogeneity of the disease. That is why, with the improvement of the first trimester pregnancy screening for preeclampsia and implicitly pregnancy progression, it would allow early diagnosis of cardiovascular risk tasks, and careful monitoring of these cases would reduce perinatal and maternal morbidity and mortality.
