[HTML][HTML] Placental growth factor as a marker of fetal growth restriction caused by placental dysfunction
SJ Benton, LM McCowan, AEP Heazell, D Grynspan… - Placenta, 2016 - Elsevier
Introduction Discriminating between placentally-mediated fetal growth restriction and
constitutionally-small fetuses is a challenge in obstetric practice. Placental growth factor
(PlGF), measurable in the maternal circulation, may have this discriminatory capacity.
Methods Plasma PlGF was measured in women presenting with suspected fetal growth
restriction (FGR; ultrasound fetal abdominal circumference< 10th percentile for gestational
age) at sites in Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. When available, placenta …
