Thrombophilia and pregnancy
Thrombophilia is a condition in which the tendency of the blood to clot is increased. During pregnancy it can affect the blood supply of the placenta and the development of the fetus, so regular ultrasound monitoring is especially important, performed by radiologist Lana Ezieshvili.
What should be watched on ultrasound?
- fetal growth — timely detection of growth restriction (IUGR);
- placental structure — infarcts, premature aging;
- Doppler ultrasound — blood flow in the umbilical and uterine arteries;
- amniotic fluid — monitoring of the volume.
Why is regular monitoring important?
With thrombophilia, the pregnancy falls into the high-risk category. Regular monitoring makes it possible to detect changes at an early stage and to take timely measures, in cooperation with the obstetrician-gynecologist.
Conclusion
With thrombophilia, ultrasound monitoring of the pregnancy is especially important. For an individual monitoring plan, book a visit with radiologist Lana Ezieshvili.
