What foods increase blood flow to the placenta?
Iron-rich foods such as red meat, poultry, fish, beans, and leafy greens are known to increase blood flow to the placenta.
What is preeclampsia?
Placental growth factor is a vital hormone tested in asymptomatic women and women under suspicion for preeclampsia, a severe pregnancy disorder characterized by high blood pressure and organ injury.

Placental Growth Factor (PGF) Test in Sanand
x
Sterling Accuris offers a Placental Growth Factor (PGF) test in Sanand to assess the level of placental growth factor (PGF) in the blood to monitor the health of a foetus during pregnancy.
Overview of Placental Growth Factor (PGF) Test
The Placental Growth Factor (PGF) Test is a laboratory test used to measure the levels of a protein called the placental growth factor (PGF) in the mother's blood. PGF is made by the placenta to help the baby grow and develop.
A vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family member, the placental growth factor is primarily expressed in the placenta but is also present in small amounts in the heart, lung, thyroid, liver, skeletal muscle, and bone. Pregnancy complications like preterm labor, intrauterine growth restriction, and preeclampsia can result from placental insufficiency, a condition where the placenta is not functioning properly.
The PGF Test can help doctors determine if a high-risk pregnancy requires further monitoring or treatment. Sterling Accuris offers a highly sensitive Placental Growth Factor (PGF) test in Sanand.
Why and When is the Placental Growth Factor (PGF) Test Done?
Placental Growth Factor levels are elevated in conditions such as preeclampsia, intrauterine growth restriction, fetal anemia, and twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome. These conditions can have potentially devastating consequences for both mother and baby. As such, monitoring PIGF levels allows physicians to better detect and manage these potentially life-threatening conditions before they become more serious.
A doctor may recommend this checkup if:
- The mother has elevated blood pressure
- The mother has pre-eclampsia
- The mother has a history of placental problems
- The baby is smaller than expected for its gestational age
- Decreased fetal movement
- Abnormal fetal heart rate patterns
- Decrease in amniotic fluid levels
Sterling Accuris Diagnostics offers a Placental Growth Factor (PGF) test in Sanand, with reliable and timely reports.
