Dr. Ashok Kumar Kapoor, Dr. Rajesh Arora

Abstract :

Role of foetal kidney length(FKL) and circumference has become more demanding and useful for obstetricians and patients to take certain important decisions  prediction of foetal health and labor dating. A prospective study on 120 pregnant women between 20–30 yrs after 30 weeks of pregnancy with known Gestational age(calculated from LMP) the aim of study was to see if there is any correlation between FKL and circumference in prediction of Gestational age(GA) to other biometric indices (BPD,HC, AC  AND  FL). Results shown that mean GA was 32.50 weeks by biometric indices and 34.70 weeks by kidney length. This confirms and concludes that FKL can be used readily and better prediction of GA than other biometric indices.
