Abstract
Background: However, the trigger for abnormal placental development and the subsequent cascade of events remains unknown.)Placental calcification often noted on ultrasound examination during pregnancy, is characterized by widespread deposition of calcium on the placenta, resulting in echogenic focithe aim of this study is to assess the relation between excessive Placental calcification and amniotic fluid turbidity with fetal outcome in normotensive and preeclampsia woman.
Methods: Fifty pregnant women aged from 20 to 30 years old, classified into two groups (normotensive group & preecamptic group) each group involved 25 cases.
Results: there was 40% of preeclampsia had turbid amniotic fluid and only 8% of normotensive group had turbid amniotic fluid with no statistical difference in between (P= 0.188)
Conclusions: This study concluded that stair step regimen improves the ovulation rate and pregnancy rate without any detrimental side effects compared to traditional regimen. It helps to know the sensitivity and resistance of an individual to CC much earlier and helps to plan ahead with alternative treatment for desired outcome.
Keywords: Abnormal placental development, excessive placental calcification, amniotic fluid turbidity, preeclampsia
