[The clinico-diagnostic importance of evaluating the blood flow in the mother-placenta-fetus system in EPH gestosis].

A dynamic dopplerometry of the blood flow in the mother-placenta-fetus system, carried out in 79 women with EPH gestosis, revealed a direct correlation between uteroplacental and fetoplacental blood flow disturbances and gestosis, hypertension, edematous syndrome, and proteinuria severity. Comprehensive assessment of the blood flow in both uterine arteries and umbilical artery are preferable. When third-degree circulatory disturbances are revealed in the mother-placenta-fetus system, cesarean section is recommended. Comprehensive dopplerometric assessment of uterine and umbilical arteries blood flow may be regarded as an objective indicator of gestosis severity, whatever its clinical manifestations.
