Abstract

Objective: To find correlation between fetal Ductus Venosus Doppler and Amniotic fluid index in 
prediction of perinatal outcome in preeclampsia. Methods: Fifty pregnant women were admitted in 
the high risk pregnancy unite (HRPU) in obstetrics and gynecology department of zagazig 
university hospital, during the period from, March 2018 to January 2019. Results: This study 
included 50 females with a singleton pregnancy suffering from severe preeclampsia and normal 50 
females with a singleton pregnancy. Their gestational age ranged between 32 weeks and 40 weeks 
gestation. Conclusion: Doppler of the UA remains the most extensively investigated tool. There is 
less evidence available for the use of DV Dopplers and AFI . Current RCOG guidance recommends 
the use of these Dopplers in the surveillance and timing of delivery. DV Doppler is the most recent 
technique for the monitoring fetal cardiac circulation and predicting neonatal outcome.
