| Abstract |
|
Adequate amniotic fluid volume is necessary for proper fetal growth and development. However;
abnormalities of amniotic fluid volume are frequently associated with fetal disease; maternal
disease; or both. Thus; an understanding of amniotic fluid dynamics and the efficacy and
limitations of the various methods of estimating amniotic fluid volume can improve management
and perinatal outcomes. Compared with the era in obstetric practice before the advent of
ultrasonography; much is presently known about the normative values for amniotic fluid volume
and the mechanisms by which this important fluid is regulated. Future research should focus on
achieving a better understanding of these issues so fundamentally related to the maintenance of
maternal-fetal homeostasis. |
