Pregnant women in the second and third trimesters. Pregnancies with small fundal height for gestational age. Mothers with hypertension or gestational diabetes.

Fetal HC/AC Ratio Test Price | Lahalak Medical Platform

A precise ultrasound assessment evaluating the ratio between fetal head and abdominal size to detect growth restrictions, ensuring timely medical intervention for a healthy pregnancy and safe delivery.

Scientific name: Fetal Head Circumference to Abdominal Circumference Ratio (HC/AC)

A diagnostic ultrasound procedure comparing fetal head size to abdominal circumference. It differentiates between symmetric and asymmetric growth restriction, monitoring placental efficiency and fetal nutrition during late pregnancy stages.

Medical Service Information

Purpose of the Procedure

Determine if fetal growth is progressing normally.
Differentiate between symmetric and asymmetric fetal growth restriction.
Evaluate placental health and nutrient delivery efficiency.

Target Groups

Pregnant women in the second and third trimesters.
Pregnancies with small fundal height for gestational age.
Mothers with hypertension or gestational diabetes.

Understanding the Results

A normal ratio indicates balanced growth between head and body.
An elevated ratio may suggest asymmetric growth restriction due to placental insufficiency.
A low ratio might require further diagnostic tests to ensure organ health.
