Eighty eight women were recruited one three groups: poor-responders (group I), hyper-responders II), and normo-responders III). Data recorded for each woman included demographics, cycle characteristics, laboratory biomarkers, IVF outcomes. Baseline PGRN levels measured venous sera.

Introduction: To investigate whether certain leukocyte and platelet indices predict Small for Gestational Age (SGA) birth and/ or oligohydramnios. Materials Methods: In this retrospective study, 408 pregnant women were included, who didn’t have foreknown systemic diseases other risk factors like drug use, smoking. Patients diagnosed with SGA (Group-I, n=59), oligohydramnios (Group-II, n=46), solely (Group-III, n=23) control group (Group-IV, n=280, matched maternal age body mass index)...

Purpose The amniotic fluid volume (AFV) is known as a predictor for the wellness of fetus. We aimed to investigate whether N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP) levels reflect AFV abnormalities in otherwise normal fetuses. Methods recruited 24 women with isolated oligohydramnios, 23 polyhydramnios, and 36 at tertiary referral center. NT-proBNP umbilical venous samples individual characteristics three groups were compared. One-way ANOVA Kruskal-Wallis analysis variance used...
