Objectives: After studying the article titled “Sonographic Assessment of Renal Volume in Normotensive Pregnant Women and Women With Pregnancy-Induced Hypertension in Enugu Metropolis,” you will be able to:
Discuss renal volume (RV) assessment measures
Describe the importance of RV in normotensive pregnant (NP) and pregnancy-induced hypertensive (PIH) women
Understand the findings of the research study
Which formula was used to determine RV in the study?
Length × width × anteroposterior × 0.523 Length + width + anteroposterior × 0.523 Length × width × anteroposterior / 0.523 Length + width + anteroposterior / 0.523
According to the studies, which organ is most affected by preeclampsia?
Placenta Liver Kidney Spleen
How many PIH patients were recruited for this study?
450 100 250 350
Which finding was supported in the study?
RV increased in PIH patients Right RV was significantly more than the left RV BMI was strongly associated with RV RV decreased as pregnancy progressed
Which systolic blood pressure is a characteristic of PIH?
> 90 mm Hg > 140 mm Hg > 200 mm Hg > 100 mm Hg
