title: Dopplerography in the diagnosis of preeclampsia in the second trimester of pregnancy.
abstract: Preeclampsia - a multisystem disorder characterized by hypertension and proteinuria that occurs more frequently. The disease is one of the most important causes of maternal and fetal mortality and morbidity in developed countries. The aim of the research was to estimate the value of screening for preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction by performing Doppler assessment of uterine arteries for revealing the circulatory disturbances in uterine arteries in predicting adverse pregnancy outcome. The dopplerography of 38 pregnant women; among them 10 - with severe preeclampsia, 13 - with mild preeclapmsia and 15 - control women groups (physiological pregnancy) was performed. According to the obtained data, dopplerography demonstrated high information value and reliability to identify women at risk of developing the disorder early enough in their pregnancies to permit preventive treatment.
