Abstract

Normal values of the pulsatility index in the fetal renal arteries in a group of 65 uncomplicated pregnancies were established. The measurements were obtained between 28 and 40 weeks of gestation. The values of pulsatility index may be used as a reference for further investigation of pathologic pregnancies.
