Invasive assessment of fetal renal abnormalities: urinalysis, fetal blood sampling and biopsy.

abstract：BACKGROUND:An initial study of trisomy 21 cases showed that prior to 10 weeks, maternal serum levels of intact hCG in the early first trimester are lower than normal. Here we further study the levels prior to and after 10 weeks of gestation to further establish whether or not the intact hCG is effective as a very early...
