Fetal therapy knowledge centre
Understand the finding before the intervention.
The useful sequence is consistent: establish the diagnosis, measure severity and change, identify what can be treated, compare the alternatives, and decide how quickly the case should move.
Am I a candidate for fetal therapy? How eligibility is assessed
Fetal therapy eligibility depends on diagnosis, severity, gestational age, maternal safety, technical feasibility, evidence, and realistic alternatives.
Read the guide →Amnioreduction: why amniotic fluid is drained and what it cannot do
Amnioreduction removes excess amniotic fluid for selected maternal or fetal indications but does not necessarily treat the underlying cause.
Read the guide →Fetal anaemia and intrauterine transfusion assessment
How fetal anaemia is suspected, assessed with Doppler and fetal blood sampling, and treated with intrauterine transfusion in selected pregnancies.
Read the guide →Fetal shunts and drainage for chest, bladder, and fluid collections
Fetal drainage or shunt procedures may be considered for selected progressive fluid collections after cause, anatomy, prognosis, and alternatives are assessed.
Read the guide →Fetal therapy assessment in Abu Dhabi
How fetal therapy cases are assessed and referred in Abu Dhabi, which procedures are available now, and what records reduce treatment delay.
Read the guide →Hydrops fetalis: finding the cause and deciding what happens next
Hydrops is abnormal fetal fluid accumulation with many possible causes; urgent investigation looks for anaemia, infection, heart disease, and treatable mechanisms.
Read the guide →Invasive prenatal diagnosis: CVS, amniocentesis, and fetal blood sampling
How CVS, amniocentesis, and cordocentesis answer different prenatal questions, including timing, test selection, limitations, and procedure risks.

A practical checklist for families and clinicians sending fetal imaging, pregnancy dating, laboratory, genetic, and referral information for review.
Read the guide →Suspected fetal infection: CMV, parvovirus B19, imaging, and diagnosis
Maternal infection does not always mean fetal disease; timing, serology, ultrasound, Doppler, amniocentesis, and follow-up define the real risk.
Read the guide →TTTS, TAPS, and complications of monochorionic twins
Why monochorionic twins need chorionicity-based surveillance and rapid specialist review for TTTS, TAPS, growth restriction, or abnormal Doppler.
Read the guide →Urgent fetal therapy referral: what to send and when to call
A practical referral guide for suspected fetal anaemia, hydrops, TTTS, rapidly changing fluid, and other time-sensitive fetal findings.
Read the guide →What is fetal therapy? Diagnosis, candidacy, and treatment before birth
Fetal therapy treats selected serious fetal or placental conditions during pregnancy after precise diagnosis, counselling, and multidisciplinary review.
