Amniotic Fluid Indicators of Fetal Maturity

DEREK ENLANDER, MRCS, LRCP, MD

From the Department of Pathology, Kaiser-Permanente Medical Center, 280 West MacArthur Blvd, Oakland, Calif 94611.

Abstract

This study demonstrates that the level of uric acid in amniotic fluid may be used as a criterion in estimating gestational age, and confirms the finding of others that there is a positive relationship between amniotic fluid creatinine levels and fetal development. These observations may be helpful when estimates of fetal maturity are essential and the date of conception is uncertain.
