Hello Doctor I am currently 28 weeks pregnant and in the recent USG OBS+Doppler I am diagnosed with reduced PI of MCA (Below 5th percentile). Is it a matter of concern ? Please provide your valuable suggestions if this can be improved. I have attached the reports if this USG for your reference. Thanks. PATIENT

Dr. Megha Tuli

Obstetrics and Gynaecology

Reduced pi is a cause of concern in case you have hypertension complication in pregnancy. However just stand alone low pi in normal pregnancy is not a cause of concern . Please discuss this with your doctor as she would have a full evaluation of your case
