Abstrakt:	A recent study conducted by researchers from the National University of Medical Sciences (NUMS) in Pakistan explored the use of monitoring the peak systolic velocity (PSV) in the middle cerebral artery (MCA) as a non-invasive method for predicting anemia in fetuses. The study included 50 pregnant women without hydropic babies, and the MCA-PSV values were compared with neonatal hemoglobin levels. The results showed that the MCA-PSV Doppler technique had a sensitivity of 93.75% and a specificity of 61.1% in detecting anemia. The researchers concluded that while the MCA-PSV Doppler is a valuable diagnostic tool for fetal anemia, it should be used in conjunction with neonatal hemoglobin estimation upon birth.
