Popis: OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between amniotic fluid volume and mainly volume of maternal body fluid compartments and secondly maternal obesity in near term pregnancies. STUDY DESIGN: A case control study was conducted involving 211 women with near term singleton pregnancies who attended Adnan Menderes University Faculty of Medicine between 2007 and 2009. Patients in Group 1(n=119), included near term pregnancies with normal amniotic fluid index (AFI) and Group 2 included near term pregnancies complicated with idiopathic oligohydramnios (n=92). Oligohydramnios was diagnosed when AFI was measured 0.05). Besides, there was no significant correlation with these parameters and AFI (p>0.05). CONCLUSION: Our data favor that maternal BMI, volume of maternal body fluid compartments and plasma osmolality do not have any effect on amniotic fluid volume in near term pregnancies.
