Oligohydramnios is a medical condition in pregnancy characterized by a deficiency of amniotic fluid, the fluid that surrounds the fetus in the abdomen, in the amniotic sac. The limiting case is anhydramnios , where there is a complete absence of amniotic fluid.
Oligohydramnios is the cause of Potter sequence, but there are many things that can lead to oligohydramnios. It can be caused by renal diseases such as bilateral renal agenesis (BRA), atresia of the ureter or urethra causing obstruction of the urinary tract, polycystic or multicystic kidney diseases, renal hypoplasia , amniotic rupture ...
Post-maturity syndrome is the condition of a baby born after a post-term pregnancy, first described by Stewart H. Clifford in 1954. [1] Post-maturity refers to any baby born after 42 weeks gestation, or 294 days past the first day of the mother's last menstrual period.
Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS), also known as feto-fetal transfusion syndrome (FFTS), twin oligohydramnios-polyhydramnios sequence (TOPS) and stuck twin syndrome, is a complication of monochorionic multiple pregnancies (the most common form of identical twin pregnancy) in which there is disproportionate blood supply between the fetuses.
The “extreme mood shifts and mental changes” of PMDD, on top of the physical symptoms, "can disrupt all aspects of a woman’s life,” Dr. Kylie Galfione, an ob-gyn with McGovern Medical ...
A new study tries to unravel the genetic reasons why so many more women are diagnosed with autoimmune diseases. Here's what scientists were able to understand. Scientists May Have The Ancient ...
This outcome is postulated to result from expression of the polycystic kidney and hepatic disease gene PKHD1, which is located on chromosome 6p. [9] In severe cases, a fetus will present with oligohydramnios and as a result, may present with Potter sequence. [10]
Scientists have never been able to explain why women are at such greater risk of autoimmune disease, but new research published in Cell on February 1 could hold the answer. And the key lies in the ...
