Abstract:The use of flowmetry of the foetal renal artery offers a diagnostic improvement by analysing intrauterine centralisation of the foetal circulation. We used the examination results of 82 pregnant women, who were in intensive prenatal care, to check the prediction of foetal distress using the flowmetry of the renal artery. In foetuses showing an increased flow resistance of the aorta and a pathological flow of the renal artery, the rate of caesarian section, necessitated by foetal distress, was 63.6%.
