PET screening in pregnancy refers to screening for Preeclampsia, a serious pregnancy complication. The reference provided does not specifically mention "PET screening," but it does discuss how preeclampsia is diagnosed and monitored.
Preeclampsia is traditionally diagnosed based on:
- High blood pressure
- The presence of protein in the urine
These conditions usually appear after the 20th week of gestation.
Other symptoms of preeclampsia to look out for include:
- Headache
- Blurred vision
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Leg swelling
Therefore, while the term "PET screening" isn't directly used, the process of screening and monitoring for preeclampsia, based on blood pressure, protein in urine, and other symptoms, constitutes what is likely being referred to.
