This article aims at analyzing the relationship between mean platelet volume and pregnancy associated plasma protein A in early detection of risk of intrauterine growth restriction, in order to determine the potential prophylactic interventions which can be made in patients considered to be part of a high risk group for fetal and perinatal bad outcome.
