Journal Title: Indian Journal of Basic and Applied Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Background –Transvaginal ultrasound is best single diagnostic and prognostic test, which enables the visualization of early pregnancies, and help in diagnosing early pregnancy failure. There are few conditions where both clinical and ultrasonographicfindings were not conclusive e.g. patients who came withsymptoms of threatened abortion orfound to have a small, or empty gestational sac on scan, as no conclusive diagnosis can be given. Aim objective:- To detect the relation between serum progesterone and viability of the pregnancy during the first trimester and correlate the relation of maternal age and gestational age from last menstrual period to serum progesterone levels. Material and methods:-A random selection of pregnant females were done from obstetric indoor department at a tertiary care hospital. Study done on 100 pregnant patients from December, 2016 to December, 2017, it is a prospective type of study. Results-100 pregnant women in first trimester were hospitalized either for vaginal bleeding or abdominal pain for this prospective study. The mean age of studied population was 22years , the mean gestational age at progesterone assay was 8weeks 3days±2weeks. By the first trimester end pregnant women were classified into viable 69 pregnant group and of 31 non-viable group . The mean serum progesterone was significantly high in viable pregnancy group 43.15ng/ml as in comparison to non-viable pregnancy group 9.98ng/ml. Conclusion-Serum progesterone can be considered as reliable marker for the early pregnancy failure.
