| Abstract | ||
| Background: A disease known as intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) causes a fetus to be born prematurely tiny for its gestational age. Some complications might arise throughout pregnancy, labor & the newborn period if the baby isn't developing normally. Aim & objectives: The goal of the research was to analyze the connection among Doppler measures, birth weight, amniotic fluid index & fetal condition at delivery, as well as to look at alterations in the fetal renal artery with middle cerebral artery (MCA) by Doppler sonography in the growth limited fetus. Subjects and methods: One hundred pregnant women who came to our ultrasound facility at Benha University Hospital for a Doppler screening participated in this cross-sectional trial. Results: Birth weight had a positive correlation with renal artery PI (0.481), negatively correlated with Middle cerebral artery PI (-0.611) and additionally significantly associated with Renal artery V max (0.618). Conclusion: Reduced fetal renal blood flow was linked to intrauterine growth limitation. The results of this study provide credence to the idea that fetal growth restriction can lead to a higher possibility of developing renal illness & hypertension in retrospect.
