FETAL KIDNEY LENGTH AS A PARAMETER FOR GESTATIONAL AGE ESTIMATION IN THIRD TRIMESTER AND ITS COMPARATIVE EVALUATION WITH OTHER FETAL BIOMETRIC INDICES

This thesis explores the potential of fetal kidney length as a parameter for estimating gestational age during the third trimester of pregnancy. The study involves a comparative evaluation with other established fetal biometric indices commonly used for gestational age estimation. The research aims to determine the accuracy and reliability of fetal kidney length as a novel predictor, which could potentially improve current methods of estimating gestational age in late-stage pregnancies. By analyzing and comparing the results with other biometric indices, the thesis aims to provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of fetal kidney length as a gestational age estimator and its potential clinical implications for prenatal care and decision-making.
