  • Title: [Critical evaluation of various methods of determining markers of fetal maturity in amniotic fluid].
    Author: Möller U, Schröder S, Seewald HJ, Reichmann M.
    Journal: Zentralbl Gynakol; 1988; 110(24):1574-82. PubMed ID: 3223123.
    Abstract:
    11 methods for investigation of fetal lung maturity, fetal skin maturity and common maturity signs were described. All investigations have been carried out on the base of 61 amniotic fluid samples. A certain declaration of fetal lung maturity is possible by: 1. The absorbance of native amniotic fluid at 650 nm 2. Shake-test (Clements) 3. Average quantities of the keratinocytes of the amniotic fluid cell population. Good results, a small amniotic fluid quantity and a simple procedure characterise these methods. They are usefull in clinical practice.
