| Popis: | Objective: To compare the ultrasonographic findings of splenic dimension in healthy pregnant and non-pregnant women. Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study was conducted at University Ultrasound Clinic, Lahore from August 2022 to February 2023. A total of 200 females (100 non-pregnant and 100 pregnant) were examined. Mindray and Toshiba Ultrasound Machines were used to perform the ultrasonography. The measurements of splenic length, width, and thickness were recorded. The length of the spleen was measured in a longitudinal view. The width of the spleen was measured in a transverse view. The anteroposterior diameter (thickness) of the spleen was also measured. Results: The overall mean age was 29.0 ± 7.8 years. The mean difference of splenic width, thickness, and volume were significantly higher in pregnant women as compared to non-pregnant women i.e., 5.58 ± 1.44 cm vs. 5.15 ± 1.42 cm (p-value 0.033), 6.37 ± 2.56 cm vs. 4.46 ± 1.10 cm (p-value |
