Introduction: Theoretically, a pathological increase inplacental vascular resistance should be detectable by abnormal Doppler flow studies of the maternal uterine vessels, and this could offers the potential to detect women at risk for diseases like preeclampsia. Materials and Methods: Ethical approval was obtained from institutional ethical committee and written consent was obtained from all the patients after explaining in detail the entire research protocol. A total of 35 patients with gestational age between 18weeks to 24 weeks were enrolled in the present study. Complete clinical examination of all the patients was carried out. Colour Doppler was carried out in all the patients. Patients were followed up to delivery and examination of the neonate was done. Results: In the present study, a total of 35patients were analysed. Mean gestational age was found to be 20.2weeks, while mean age was found to be 24.1 years. Out of 7patients with abnormal Doppler findings, pre-eclampsia was foundto be present in 3 patients, while it was found to be absent in 4patients. Conclusion: In cases where the test proves be abnormal, increased surveillance and delivery in a well-equipped setup is necessary to reduce the maternal and fetal complications.
