Reduced Fetal Platelet Counts in Pregnancies With Abnormal Doppler Umbilical Flow Waveforms

Fetal and maternal platelet counts were correlated with antenatal assessment of the umbilical-placental waveform. Forty singleton pregnancies were studied using Doppler ultrasound, and placental resistance was categorized as normal or high according to the systolic/diastolic ratio. We performed plat...

Zusammenfassung:	Fetal and maternal platelet counts were correlated with antenatal assessment of the umbilical-placental waveform. Forty singleton pregnancies were studied using Doppler ultrasound, and placental resistance was categorized as normal or high according to the systolic/diastolic ratio. We performed platelet counts on maternal and cord blood taken at the time of cesarean section. The high-resistance group had a mean fetal platelet count (218 ± 53 x 10/µL significantly lower than that of the normal-resistance group (314 ± 76 X 10/µL) (P
