Summary

In this study we explore To explore the role of maternal serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in pregnancies complicated by foetal growth restriction.

Conditions

  • Foetal Growth Restriction

Interventions

DEVICE

obstetric Ultrasound

Transabdominal ultrasound was performed to confirm foetal number, viability, gestational age, exclusion of congenital anomalies, and assessment of amniotic fluid index and localization of the placenta.

OTHER

serum Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor

Maternal blood samples (10 cc) were taken from an antecubital vein. Plastic clean sterile tubes were used for collection of blood. Two cc of the blood sample were put in other clean sterile tubes containing ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA) to be used in measuring maternal hemoglobin concentrations and evaluating the complete blood count. The rest of maternal blood samples were centrifuged within 3 hours and sera collected equally in 2 suitable containers and stored at -80 degrees until assayed (first container for routine laboratory investigations and the second for VEGF assay).VEGF sample was allowed to clot for 30 minutes before centrifugation for 15 minutes. Serum is removed and assay immediately or sample was stored at -80 degrees
