Ultrasound study of baby's liver size in gestational diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to measure the size of your baby's liver during pregnancy if you have gestational diabetes. It may help doctors understand how blood sugar levels affect your baby's growth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study checks if doing another diabetes test later in pregnancy for women whose baby is large can reduce the chance of needing a cesarean section. It may help you understand your risk and options.
This study follows pregnant people to understand gestational diabetes (high blood sugar during pregnancy) and how it shows up and is monitored. It may help improve future screening and care for gestational diabetes.
This study tests whether using a small ultrasound device at home can help monitor high-risk pregnancies in people with gestational diabetes. You would perform quick scans and share them with your doctor remotely.
This study tests if new blood markers can help predict gestational diabetes and the risk of having a large baby. It could lead to earlier detection and better care.
This study looks at a special ultrasound test that checks how well the baby's heart is working. It aims to see if this test can help predict problems in pregnancies affected by diabetes or preeclampsia (high blood pressure during pregnancy).
