Fetal anemia |

Synonyms |
|
|
Definitions |
Low hemoglobin/hematocrit in a fetus as evidenced by percutaneous umbilical cord sampling and Doppler ultrasonographic assessment of the peak velocity of systolic blood flow in the middle cerebral artery. Fetal anemia has been known for many years as a dangerous complication of pregnancy. Its most common causes are maternal alloimmunization and parvovirus B19 infection, although it can be associated with many different pathological conditions including fetal aneuploidies, vascular tumors, and arteriovenous malformations of the fetus or placenta and inherited conditions such as alpha-thalassemia or genetic metabolic disorders. Doppler ultrasonographic assessment of the peak velocity of systolic blood flow in the middle cerebral artery for the diagnosis of fetal anemia and intravascular intrauterine transfusion for its treatment are the current practice standards. |
