"Normal Values in Pregnancy, 2/e" will be invaluable to all professionals who care for pregnant women. Pregnancy results in profound changes in maternal physiology and metabolism ,orchestrated by hormonal changes. Similarly, physical, biochemical, hormonal and hematological measurements of the fetus change markedly as the fetus grows in size and maturity. It is essential that practitioners have a knowledge of these changes to be sure that maternal and fetal disorders are diagnosed and managed effectively. This book contains a comprehensive collection of both maternal and fetal normal values. Normal values are displayed in user-friendly graphs. Interpretation of the data is provided in succinct comment sections. Normal values are expressed in SI and non-SI units of measurement. New information provided in this edition includes: 25 new graphs and 62 new supporting references; information about statistical methodology; new information on maternal liver function and carbohydrate metabolism; comprehensive coverage of fetal ultrasound measurements; and, new information on umbilical cord blood biochemical and haematological values
