Anemia in pregnancy and baby's brain blood flow
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This study uses a special ultrasound (Doppler) to measure blood flow to your baby's brain during the third trimester. The goal is to see how anemia might affect your baby's health and birth outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant and have been diagnosed with anemia (low red blood cells).
- Your hemoglobin level (a measure of red blood cells) is 11 g/dL or lower.
- You are carrying exactly one baby.
- Your baby does not have any known birth defects or abnormalities.
- You do not have other major health conditions like diabetes, preeclampsia, or an autoimmune disease.

This study uses a special ultrasound (Doppler) to check blood flow in the umbilical cord of full-term pregnant women who are either obese or normal weight. It aims to see if obesity affects the baby's well-being before birth.
This study uses a safe, painless ultrasound to measure blood flow in the brains of newborns (both full-term and preterm) in the first 48 hours after birth. The goal is to understand how blood flow differs in these babies, which may help improve care.
This study uses a special ultrasound to measure how fast blood moves in the baby's middle brain artery. It may help doctors spot and manage fetal anemia without more invasive tests.
This study uses a special ultrasound (Doppler) to look at blood flow in a baby’s brain vessels within 24 hours before birth. Researchers want to see whether these findings relate to birth outcomes, like how the baby does right after delivery.
This study measures how well the fetus's heart is pumping in pregnancies where the baby may have low red blood cells due to blood-type mismatch or parvovirus infection. Researchers use ultrasound to check heart function and see if this measurement helps predict which babies need treatment.
This study measures blood flow in the carotid artery (a major neck artery) during pregnancy and cesarean delivery. It aims to understand how pregnancy affects blood flow, which may help improve care for mothers.
